From 5:30-7:30 p.m. Kleina will attend an opening reception for the exhibit in the main lobby of City Hall. Executive Sims and Mayor Nickels will give welcome remarks at 6 p.m. .

Both events are free and open to the public. The exhibit will remain on display until Friday, April 13 during regular business hours at Seattle City Hall, 600 Fourth Avenue (between Cherry and James St.) in downtown Seattle.

“Martin Luther King Jr. in Chicago” offers a rare color portrait of the Chicago Open Housing Campaign, one of the pivotal events in American civil rights history.
