26th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s
Birthday Celebration
The tradition continues as the City of Milwaukee joins the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts as they host the 26th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday Celebration in Milwaukee on Sunday, January 17, 2010. Come and celebrate the legacy of one of the greatest men of the 20th century.
The Celebration will commence at 1:00 PM in Uihlein Hall, which will include multi-cultural performing arts salute to Dr. King. Representation from community organizations will include the Milwaukee Chinese Orchestra, Discovering Our Destiny, Latino Arts Mariachi Juvenil and much more. This event has played to capacity crowds for the past several years.
Another highlight of our programming will include honoring those students who have interpreted Dr. King’s words through art, speech, and writing. The theme this year is “People Must Work Together.” In addition, the United States Postal Service will be unveiling another stamp as part of the Black Heritage Stamp Series.
The event concludes with a public reception in honor of Paulette Copeland, featuring a performance by the Riverside University Gospel Choir.
This event is free and open to the public. |
