Commemoration of the March on Washington

Past event
Aug 28, 2023, 7 PM

Sixty years after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963, poet and performer David Mills will present an hour-long dramatic presentation, portraying Dr. King's transformation from his early uncertainties about Civil Rights into the iconic figure he became. The show highlights Dr. King's, "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," "I Have a Dream" "Promised Land" "If I had Sneezed," and "Early Days." Mr. Mills' stirring presentation looks at the public figure and the private man.

Be roused, be inspired, be transported as Mr. Mills delivers Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech sixty years to the day after Dr. King did so.

The program is free and open to the public and is accessible to people in wheelchairs. For more information visit www.brookslibraryvt.org or call (802)254-5290.
