Contest Winners Announced for the 27th Annual Dr. MLK B-day Celebration

The MLK Steering Committee will host the 27th annual DR. Martin Luther King Jr., Birthday Celebration at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts on January 16, 2011.

The Steering Committee is pleased that local performing arts groups will also appear in Uihlein Hall as part of the 1:00 p.m. program. Programming in Uihlein Hall will honor those students who will interpret this year's theme "The World: A Neighborhood, A Brotherhood." This year's theme came from many of Dr. King's speeches and writings, but most notably from A Testament of Hope: the Essential Writings and Speeches of DR. Martin Luther King, Jr.
