Representation from community organizations will include United Indians of Milwaukee, Jazz Singer, Kaprice Maxwell, Hip Hop Cellist, Malik Johnson, The Milwaukee Flyers Tumbling Team, Hmong American Peace Academy and many more. Another highlight of our programming will include honoring those students who have interpreted Dr. King's words through art, speech, and writing.
