An Open-Mic Poetry Tribute to the Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Join us as we pay special tribute to the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King, during his lifetime, confronted many issues that are still with us today. Ever the dreamer, he always taught that hope, courage, truth, service, respect, and dignity have no boundaries despite the obstacles.
