Bluffton Public Library

At the public library March 21

The Bluffton Public Library will host a "conversation and film" showing "Selma," at the library at 5 p.m., Wednesday, March 21.

Prior to the movie, students from Bluffton University's Multicultural Student Organization (MSO), led by faculty Tyson Goings, will share a presentation, followed by a talk and Q&A with former Ohio Northern University staff members Monty Siekerman and Alfred Cohoe.

Siekerman and Cohoe were in attendance during Dr. King's talk on ONU's campus shortly before the events from the film took place (in 1968).

This monthly discussion group is open to new members, and registration is requested. Copies of each month’s book are available for checkout the month prior to each discussion, and you may register when you check out.
