My response to a Martin Luther King Celebration EventMany joined on the day of Martin Luther King's Birthday. Many celebrated his accomplishments, everything he stood for and believed in. This has been an interesting time for us, since it is being celebrated together with our 44th president Barack Obamas inauguration. That alone shows how big of an impact Martin Luther King had on our nation, back then and still today.
There was an event on Sunday, January 18, 2009 called "In the Name of Love." at 7:30pm. It was their 7th annual Musical Tribute Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This particular event stood out to me because they expressed their gratitude and appreciation by using music. It featured many local and national artists and groups. I was also pleased with how they acknowledge with awards, individuals who have made a big impact on the community as well.
Many of the groups included Marcus Shelby's Jazz Orchestra, Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, Destiny Arts Youth Performance Co., Oakland Children's Community Choir and the Oaktown Jazz Workshops. It was pleasing to know that so many local/natives came togehter to celebrate this special day. It also shows that there are numerous orginizations out there that support our children. It gives them hope and something to believe in since they are our future generation.
I am glad to see that so many people are afffected by Martin Luther King. No matter what age, race or gender, we can all come together to share one similarity, and that is our beliefs. Martin luther king believed this would be possible and it is.
Sorry Ms. Sabir but when I try to submit my response it is saying that all of my references HTML cannot be accepted, tag is not allowed. If you want I can show you in another way what my references are. I have about four website references.
