Modern spoken word can be traced back to the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 30s, the American beat poets of the 1950s, and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Shanterra Mitchum, Program Director of the Center for Teen Empowerment Rochester, will perform works inspired by Dr. King. Additionally, there will be an open platform for community members of all ages to use their artistry and voices to encourage, to heal, and to connect.

Dr. King's powerful oratory, infused with musicality, continues to resonate today, inspiring us to carry on the fight for justice and equality. This is a unique and moving opportunity to come together in song and remembrance, echoing the spirit of resilience and determination.
