Nonviolence Requires Courage... and Other Principles of Martin Luther King

Monday, January 16, 2012 / 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm at Random Row Bookstore, 
315 W. Main St., Charlottesville (directly south of Staples)

Come celebrate how the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King (and many other Civil Rights activists) lives on here in Charlottesville. This is a gathering for all those who have a dream of social justice and a desire to see it come true.
The theme is Dr. King's Principles of Nonviolence and how they can guide us in today's world. 
~ We will serve homemade soup, bread, salad and desserts.
~ Special guests will offer poetry, music, stories, and other artistry related to the theme.
~ The Presence troupe will use playback and forum theatre techniques to reflect on audience members' hopes, fears, frustrations, wishes and dreams for the future for Charlottesville and the world. We encourage you to share your own anecdotes, situations, and concrete strategies for change!
 ~ Diverse elements will be interwoven artistically, supported by visual projection, freestyle poetry, interactive theatre forms, and the soulful rhythms of DJ "Double A1K". 
~ Local groups are invited to display their work in the areas of social justice, diversity awareness, and nonviolent change.
~ Produced by Presence Center for Applied Theatre Arts and JustLyricz/ Skies the Limit Entertainment
Feel free to spread the word, and we hope to see you on MLK Day!
