Monday, January 20, 2020 at 4 PM – City Hall – 9770 Culver Boulevard, Culver City
“Remembering King” will be a tribute to King in the form of a live performance of a Dr. King Speech at the entrance to City Hall by Actor Gerald C. Rivers. His extraordinary voice will be heard throughout City Hall and will radiate to the streets of Culver City. Immediately following will be a candlelight ceremony at dusk with the wonderful members of the Culver City Interfaith Alliance.
Saturday, January 25, 2020 at 1 PM – Culver City Senior Center – 4095 Overland Avenue, Culver City
“Women of the Movement” features theatrical performance by artists Patti Henley and Brenda Lee Eager. These women have not only had amazing musical careers but also did important work in the Civil Rights Movement. Their journey together began at Operation Breadbasket in the 1960s and continues today in classrooms and concert stages around the world. They will share their stories and their voices with the audience at this event.
These events are free and open to the public. Please visit the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Committee website for more information or contact Ms. Arames White-Shearin, Acting Recreation and Community Services Supervisor, at (310) 253-6678 or by email at [email protected].
