2021 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Celebration: Inspired by a Movement

While we may be apart to celebrate this year, Dr. King’s legacy endures. On January 18, we will present a unique, virtual edition of our annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Celebration: Inspired by a Movement.

Inspired by depictions of Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Moneta Sleet, Jr., local Black performing artists Anita Jackson, Heather Beal, and Joel P. E. King respond to Sleet’s photographs through original music, dance, and theatrical presentations.

This virtual presentation will be available on-demand at slam.org/mlkfreedomcelebration beginning January 18, 2021.
