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. |
