The theme for the 2021 Celebration – appropriate in this time of transition – is taken from the title of a book by Dr. King. The program will feature Donzaleigh Abernathy, daughter of Civil Rights leader Ralph David Abernathy, making the connection of the 60s Civil Rights Movement and the Black Lives Matter Movement. Other presentations will also focus on this theme.

There will be music, theatre and spoken word performances by Benjamin Mertz, Tru Lyric, Sky-i, Jacqueline Lawrence, Tina Rogers, Alejandro Guerrero, Prayer Chapel Singers, Piercey Bastoni.
