Martin Luther King Jr. Day: An afternoon of reflection and Hope
January 16, 2023 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Join in for a unique afternoon celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.
A program that goes beyond King’s dream for a better world, looking at racism today, especially in our community, and how we can work to overcome it.
The afternoon will consist of:
The NPR Morning Edition November 6 recording: includes interviews with Nevada Union High School students of color who experience racism on campus.
Readings from Dr. King’s speeches: accompanied by discussions with guest speakers focusing on the painful reality of racism in America as well as hope for social justice and racial equality.
Live music from various musicians: including blues and soul singer Jamal Walker. Walker has performed locally for thirty years and is a member of the popular band Elevation. He has also been active in anti-bias efforts for many years.
Light refreshments following the program.
