Father Bob Kus, the priest at Saint
Catherine of Siena Roman Catholic
Church, will give the main address
Thursday night, Jan. 19, for Wake
Forest’s Martin Luther King celebration,
but he will share the stage at The
DuBois Center with several talented
young people.
They will be demonstrating –
through art of all kinds, oratory,
poetry, essays and performances – the
message Martin Luther King Jr. brought
to the world, a vision of brotherhood,
peace and unity.
The young people will be the
winners in a contest open to all Wake
Forest area school children. The Martin
Luther King Jr. celebration committee
will be judging the entries and entrants
this coming Saturday.
The evening will begin at 6
p.m. at the center with a reception,
fellowship and light hors d’oeuvres, and
the program will begin at 7 p.m. with
opening remarks by Mayor Vivian Jones.
One of the highlights of the
evening will be the naming of this
year’s recipient of the Distinguished
Service Award to someone who has worked
to improve race relations.
The Martin Luther King Jr.
committee is a subsidiary of the town’s
human relations council. Its members are
Betty Barham, Fran Shapiro, Carl
Breazeale, Gladys Cannon, Hubert Cannon,
Bary Hayes, the Rev. Enoch Holloway,
Glendine King-Jeffreys, Gene McLeod,
Annie Thomas, Betty Wiley, Evelyn Jones,
Lori Moss and Ginger Allen.
Admission is free and open
to all. |
