[Imc] events during MLK week

[Cope Cumpston]

There are a lot of interesting talks happening during the MLK week --
would be great to get as many as possible covered. Two of the speakers
worked with Dr. King -- on Thursday noon the 17th the speaker is Rev.
James Bevel of Chicago who was in charge of direct action under King. (I
think that will be officially recorded).

Preliminary schedule below.
