Demand forces city to change venue for Bernie Sanders, Mayor Lumumba town hall
High demand to see U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders join Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba in Jackson next week has forced the city to find a more accommodating venue.
Sanders and the mayor will be commemorating the 50th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr at an event titled "Examining Economic Justice 50 Years Later."
The Wednesday event will now be held at Thalia Mara Hall at 255 E. Pascagoula St. in downtown Jackson, instead of the Alamo Theater in the city's Farish Street District.
