…And it is coming true this Thursday night, January 28, 2010 from 8:00-11:00 pm. The dream is materializing thanks to Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. Epsilon Chapter, in conjunction with MESA and UUAP, and U-Club Poetry. A Right to Dream: An Art and Poetry Exhibition! Is an annual symposium that comes together to honor the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Tomorrow is the 24th annual MLK Symposium here at the University of Michigan and it promises a venue that is not to be missed, including art from the campus at large, student performers in the open-mic and poetry slam, and two speakers: Jessica Care Moore and Airea “Dee” Mathews. The art and poetry competition winners will be rewarded with over $500 in prizes, including visa gift cards and gift baskets!
This event is a wonderful way to honor the dreams that MLK gave us and to see some of the talent your classmates have to offer. You should definitely show up, especially since there is only a $5 cover charge, $2 of which is being donated to the construction of the MLK Monument in Washington, D.C.
