Garner's 2015 Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Remembrance
Please join the greater Garner community for the fifth annual celebration of the life and legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. This free event is being held on Sunday, January 18, 2015, at the Garner Performing Arts Center, 742 W. Garner Rd., at 4:00pm. The theme for this year's Dr. King remembrance is: "A Time to Be Seen. A Time to Be Heard. A Time to Serve." Mayor Ronnie Williams will be our host.
This year's keynote speaker will be the Rev. Dr. Vernon Tyson, a retired United Methodist minister who was a leader in North Carolina's Civil Rights Movement. Tyson, who lives in Raleigh, is a graduate of Duke Divinity School. His life story is featured in the book and motion picture, "Blood Done Sign My Name," authored by his son, historian and Civil Rights scholar, Tim Tyson. Episcopal Deacon and WRAL News Anchor David Crabtree will serve as master of ceremonies.
In remembrance of Dr. King and his life of service to all humanity, we ask attendees to bring canned food items to be donated to replenish the pantry shelves at Garner Area Ministries, which provides food, clothing and financial assistance to families and individuals in Garner and surrounding areas.
Dr. King, an ordained Baptist minister, is the only African American honored with a national holiday. A Noble Peace Prize recipient, Dr. King was felled by an assassin's bullet on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, TN. Had he lived, Dr. King would have turned 86 years old on January 15.
