  1. The event at the Civic Center starts at 10 a.m., not 9 a.m. as listed. Seating is limited at the Jenni T. Anderson Theatre, so please get there early!

  2. It was a wonderful time for all and it was such an honor to sing there, to continue Dr. King’s vision for peace. Let’s do our parts to make his dream our reality!
