About This Event
"Good Day Sunshine State, The Beatles in 1964 Florida"
1964 was a potboiler of a year for the Beatles and Florida. Through dozens of new, primary-source interviews, and access to rare letters, documents and images, journalist and author Bob Kealing follows the Beatles and the two weeks they spent in Miami Beach, Key West and Jacksonville - more time than the band spent anywhere else in North America during that watershed year. Kealing explores the Fab’s Four’s innocence, influence and early American activism, uncovering little-known connections between the Beatles and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. His engaging presentation features rare audio and video and paints a vivid portrait of a moment when pop culture, politics and social change collided. Nearly 60 years after John, Paul, George and Ringo launched the British Invasion, Kealing offers compelling proof that Beatlemania remains vibrant and meaningful as ever.
Each ticket includes a free meal (vegetarian and gluten-free options available).
Meal service begins at 6:00 p.m.
Speaker presentation begins at 7:00 p.m.
