Olmsted and Dr. King DESCRIPTION:Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) and Martin Luther King\, Jr. (1929-1968) are leaders of their generations; the former shaped public parks forever and designed Buffalo to be a “city within a park”\, the latter led the charge for social and racial justice throughout North America and around the world.\nAt this community conversation\, we seek to learn about where and how Mr. Olmsted’s philosophies align with Dr. King’s values\, and to explore the role of parks and greenspaces through the lens of equity and justice.\nPlease join us on Tuesday\, May 16\, 2023\, Buffalo Museum of Science\, Auditorium\, 6pm-8pm.
