18th Annual UNITED WE WALK
Be sure to save Sunday, January 15 and join us in this year’s United We Walk celebration of the birthday of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The 2012 theme is "United We Build the Dream" The event will take place from 3:00 – 6:30 pm at West Bloomfield High School
"United We Walk" is a group of adult and student volunteers who come together each year to celebrate the life and contributions of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The year 2012 marks the 18th Anniversary of the community-based multicultural celebration. The walk, program, dialogues and candlelight vigil will all be held on Sunday, January 15th at West Bloomfield High School.
Co-Chairs Brian Flaggs, Kathy Sheiko and David Flaisher as well as Student Co-Chairs Alyxis Flaggs and Olivia Peace have been working diligently for the past 6 months to plan for a spectacular event, with our walk down Orchard Lake Road, followed by a presentation in our newly renovated auditorium.
This year, our keynote speaker will be Dr. Silas Norman, Associate Dean of Admissions in the College of Medicine at Wayne State University. Dr. Norman’s history is particularly noteworthy, as he spent time in the 60’s in the south as a Freedom Rider. The Freedom Riders set out to challenge the status quo by riding various forms of public transportation in the South to challenge local laws or customs that enforced segregation. The Freedom Rides, and the violent reactions they provoked, bolstered the credibility of the American Civil Rights Movement and called national attention to the violent disregard for the law that was used to enforce segregation in the southern United States.
Our presentations which will include the Viking Voices from OLMS under the direction of April Tini, whom I saw perform yesterday, and they were fabulous! The talent in these students is nothing short of professional quality. The program will end with a Candlelight Vigil which will be held in the auditorium this year, followed by a Community Dinner in the cafeteria, to which all are invited to attend to share food and dialogue. All events are free and open to the public, so please join us!
