Let Freedom Ring! Celebration at the Kennedy Center honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. →
Tonight I had the privilege of being part of the Let Freedom Ring! celebration at the Kennedy Center as a member of the Georgetown University choir. The incredibly talented Bobby McFerrin gave an amazing performance and it was a great experience singing with him.
Additionally, the 10th annual Legacy of a Dream Award was presented to Clarence Jones, MLK’s former attorney and speechwriter who helped draft the “I Have a Dream” speech. (This guys is pretty awesome.) And to make it even better, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama were in the audience!
Even though the video’s a little over an hour long, it’s definitely worth watching. The concert was a great way to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Nights like tonight make me all the more committed to (and excited for!) my work in public policy and social justice and singing onstage at the Kennedy Center is an experience I will not soon forget.
