Celebrate the Voting Rights Work of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King with ABCL
Join us on January 19th, 2025, at 2pm at Follen Church for our annual celebration in honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.!
This program, hosted by the Association of Black Citizens of Lexington, will feature spirituals and freedom songs performed by Brother Dennis Slaughter and Friends. Young Lexingtonians will read a poem by Nikki Giovanni and recite remarks by Dr. King on the power of the vote. And you’ll learn how the Lexington Civil Rights Committee supported civil rights work in Mississippi.
This year, LaVergne Randolph, Jr., ABCL member and Newton resident, will share his memories of being a young civil rights supporter in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s. The assassination of his neighbor Medgar Evers and the work of Fannie Lou Hamer inspired a teenaged Mr. Randolph to volunteer his time and talents for the Movement.
We sincerely hope that you, your friends, families, and more will join us for this special performance.
