Celebrating
the Life and Work of Martin Luther King
|
|
Dancers, drummers,
and singers will join in a celebration of the life and work of
Martin Luther King Jr. on Sunday, January 19, at 1:30 pm in Abbey
Memorial Chapel. The annual commemoration, now in its seventh
year, will feature African drumming by the Bamidele Drummers of
Amherst; soloist Ivy Tillman of the College’s Library, Information,
and Technology Services; a performance by the multicultural duo
Moonlight and Morning Star; and modern dance by Dance Connecticut’s
Youth Performance Project, a troupe of children from inner-city
Hartford. Lois Brown, MHC assistant professor of English, will
be the emcee for the event. The celebration last year attracted
an audience of more than 200 people, many from the surrounding
community. “Everyone is welcome for an upbeat, energetic
commemoration of Dr. King’s life and work through music and
dance,” says Andrea Ayvazian, the College’s dean of
religious and spiritual life. The event is sponsored by MHC’s
Office of Religious and Spiritual Life and Office of Student Programs.
