In a rare reading, aaduna's publisher, bill berry, jr. spoke at today's "MLK Jam Night" sponsored by the Diverse Auburn committee of the Harriet Tubman Center for Justice & Peace.   In an essay titled, "Something to Think About," berry offered a glimpse into other King writings besides his celebrated "I Have a Dream" speech.  Using direct quotes and his own commentary, berry succinctly presented another facet of the King legacy that keenly identified the racial, social, and economic ills that have not been resolved in America since 1958.  And he pointedly reminded the
multi-racial audience of adults and children of the importance of this year's presidential election especially the president's role in appointing Supreme Court judges.

 The evening was filled with song, poetry, and MLK themed video presentations by Auburn's children.   This was a wonderful celebration with hopes that more is to come in years moving forward.  

 

Kudos to the Diverse Auburn committee of the Harriet Tubman Center for Justice & Peace and the Auburn Public Theater for hosting a successful event!
