ASU to Co-host 6th Annual Citywide MLK Celebration

Alabama State University will co-sponsor the sixth annual historic community-wide celebration in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Friday, Jan. 17, at the Davis Theatre. The theme of this year’s event is “Because of them, I am.”

Performances will be held at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Tickets are $5 for the matinee and $10 for the evening show. 

Also during event, a number of individuals will receive the Beloved Community Award, which commends residents for their exemplary work, leadership and commitment in building the “beloved community.”

The goal of the community-wide MLK Celebration is to continue a much-needed dialogue around the teaching of tolerance, unity and peace in the Montgomery area.
