Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This year we were especially excited to bring together so many Evanston cultural arts organizations to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy and shine a light on equity in the arts. Together with Tim Rhoze, Artistic Director of Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre, we curated a wonderful array of performances.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. remarked that, "people fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they have not communicated with each other." Nichols Concert Hall offers us a beautiful and welcoming space in which we can come together to learn, share, and celebrate with one another.

A very special thank you to everyone who participated in the event. Music and arts are of vital importance in keeping us connected to one another as well as a key way in which we expand our understanding of the world around us.
