Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration at King Towers Community Center (NYCHA) 1/21/2013

It was a pleasure once again to participate in the Annual Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration at the King Towers Community Center within the King Towers Housing Development, This years theme: "community pride through civic engagement, 50 years and the dream lives on" The celebration consisted of over 14 mini performances, mostly by local youth from New York City housing developments (NYCHA). Performances consisted of song, dance and poetry interspersed with multimedia effects provided by Harlem Heritage Tours. Much time was spent recognizing that this August 2013 mark the 50th year since Dr. King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. A few of the elders in the room were present at the March on Washington in 1963 and spoke passionately to the youth about that great day. We at Harlem Heritage Tours have been participating in this event for the past three years and will continue to do so as long as long people continue to DREAM. Thanks to NYCHA and all who attended.
