Marvin E. Gilmore Jr. is the grandson of slaves who rose from poverty to achieve the American dream right here in Cambridge – including as owner of the Western Front nightclub. Gilmore is a decorated veteran who earned France’s Legion of Honor and has waged a lifelong battle for social justice, whether it’s against armed segregationists or co-founding a bank and rebuilding Roxbury. (In between he’s made music with Hollywood stars.) His story is told by Paul Katzeff, a journalist with Investor’s Business Daily and author of books on investments and finance. Read the rather thrilling book description here; information about the event is here.

Pamangan! Filipino Pop-Up Dinner at 8 to 11 p.m. Saturday at East Meets West, 934 Massachusetts Ave., Central Square. Tickets are $30.

This monthly Filipino dinner pop-up has quickly become a big deal – last month’s debut sold out fast – and is headed toward “a restaurant on the (somewhat distant) horizon” and a food truck  in the meantime. This January dinner debuting some ideas for the truck, making it standing-room-only casual with live entertainment. A ticket buys guaranteed entry, a drink of your choice and: two skewers of fishballs; two plates of sisig (marinated, grilled and chopped pork); two pork belly buns; and two skewers of karioka (deep-fried coconut and pounded sweet rice with fillings of jackfruit, ube and saba).
