“Women of the Movement” features theatrical performance by artists Patti Henley and Brenda Lee Eager.

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].
