Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” Celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with special performances hosted and curated by poet and professor Unique Robinson. Robinson will kick off the program with a selection of poetry  that explores the theme of actualizing the “presence of justice.” Audiences can expect a mix of musical performances and poetry readings from Baltimore locals Black Chakra, Esi Abercrombie, and The Storage Unit Collective. Following the program, join the artists in the Walters Cafe for a light reception.
