Engage with and honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King, celebrating their lessons, creativity, and imagination with storytelling, impactful conversation, soundscapes and art-marking! On this free general admission day, artists and thought leaders will share reflections on social justice, equity, and empowerment.


Among other activities, visitors can dive deep into a reflective soundscape experience in the Courtyard which weaves sound, spirit, and storytelling to transport you into the echoes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream and radical hope while reflecting and practicing their craft during an art-making experience created by The Department of Public Imagination, Crystal Bi, and Dzidzor. Through layers of sonic textures and spoken word, the space invites reflection on justice, liberation, and the enduring power of collective hope. 


In Calderwood Hall, artist and community organizer Amanda Shea invites us to consider why we still dream via a poetic performance and post-show conversation.
