The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is hosting its annual celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. virtually this year. After a year marked by racial violence and increased calls for social justice in a deeply divided nation, the Freedom Center looks to the example of Dr. King to unite people around the cause of equity and dignity with a message of recognizing our similarities and celebrating our differences. The King Legacy Celebration will be broadcast virtually at 9 a.m. Monday, January 18.
The King Legacy Celebration will feature performances from world-renowned baritone Reginald Smith, courtesy of Cincinnati Opera, the Cincinnati Black Theatre Company singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and “We Shall Overcome” and a spoken word performance from Walnut Hills High School student Zoe Cummings.
Registration for the King Legacy Celebration virtual program is $25. Visit freedomcenter.org/voice/event/king-legacy-celebration-21/ to register.
