MLK 50th Commemorations: The Golden Gathering

The Golden Gathering will bring together social justice leaders, activists, practitioners and community members for an intimate look at the civil rights movement from past foundations to current mobility and grassroots organizing; explore how past activism laid the groundwork for current action; and how new civil rights movements are working through justice and peace to achieve positive social change. The Golden Gathering will include moderated discourse and storytelling; performance arts of original spoken word, music, plays, and liturgical dance; and, a visual art exhibit of creative pieces from community artists of all ages.
