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.<\/p>\n
The program is Saturday Aug. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Burlington Green Park, West Meeker and Railroad Avenue North.<\/p>\n
The program includes a replay of Dr. King’s speech, voter registration and voter education, speakers from the community and music.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Light refreshments will be served.<\/p>\n
