Remembering the Legacy Through the Arts: MLK Celebration at W.D. Hill

On Saturday, January 12, 2019, the W.D. Hill Recreation Center will be hosting the 8th Annual “MLK: Remembering the Legacy Through the Arts” event from 2 p.m. - 5 p.m. at 1308 Fayetteville Street, Durham, NC. During this event, the community will get a chance to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy through various forms of art and discussion.

The event will include visual art displays from local artists, community discussion, poetry open mic, live performances from groups around the Triangle, and arts and crafts. Attendees will also have the opportunity to talk with a host of community organizations that may interest them. This event is free and open to the public - all ages are welcome to attend.

In previous years, this event has featured the North Carolina Central Jazz Department, Stand Up/Speak Out (Poetry), and Empower Dance Studio and was attended by over 250 members of the community. This is an event you definitely do not want to miss out on! Meet fellow members of your community and join us for a diverse artistic experience as we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr!
