The Kent Black Action Commission presents Our Place in the March, a tribute to the 54th anniversary of the historic march on Washington, D.C., where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his historic “I have a dream” speech.
The program is Saturday Aug. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Burlington Green Park, West Meeker and Railroad Avenue North.
The program includes a replay of Dr. King’s speech, voter registration and voter education, speakers from the community and music.
Given the events in the country, most significantly the recent woes in Charlottesville, Va., KBAC has expanded the program to include “Let’s Stand in Solidarity” and pledge against hate.
Light refreshments will be served.
