MLK: From Civil Rights to Black Lives Matter Friday, January 12th at 7pm EST
The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) will present an inspirational musical celebration on January 12 in honor of Martin Luther King. “MLK: From Civil Rights to Black Lives Matter” will begin at 7:00 PM at Epworth United Methodist Church in Rehoboth Beach. TV personality Paul Williams, Chief Meteorologist for Coast TV, will emcee the event.
The program will feature familiar music of the 60’s and 70’s social struggle, such as “What’s Going On” and “I’ll Take You There,” and rock the crowd with joyous gospel and praise dance.
Christy Taylor, a Milton native and well-known jazz musician and educator will bring her distinctive sound to the Epworth stage. The Reminders, a Sussex County-based trio, will share music that explores the harmony of heart and spirit through genres that embrace Americana, gospel, roots, praise, and bygone days.
Other performers include the Camp Rehoboth Ensemble, The Praise Choir of Friendship Baptist Church of Lewes, and Joyful Expressions from Friendship United Methodist Church of Millsboro. The music will be supplemented by a dazzling array of segregation-era pictures from the Lewes Historical Society.
Tickets are $25 and children under 12 are free. Proceeds benefit SDARJ programs including scholarships, academic recognition, criminal justice reform, Black Voices Magazine, racial reconciliation workshops, and more.
