In recognition of the Martin Luther King Jr., holiday a pair of events are scheduled for Sunday and Monday.
The theme for this year's events is “Mission Possible II: Building Community, uniting a Nation the Nonviolent Way”. The events will be held at the Stringer Fine Arts Center at Hutchinson Community College, featuring speakers and musical performances focused on unity, faith, and nonviolent action.
The first event is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 18, at 3 p.m. The program will include performances by the Buhler High School Choir and the Hutchinson Community College Badinage, along with a keynote message from Rev. Dr. Allen Smith, pastor of St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Salina.
The second presentation will take place on Monday, Jan. 19, at 2 p.m. The event will feature Dr. Mildred Edwards as the speaker.
The “Mission Possible” events are designed to highlight the principles of nonviolence while encouraging dialogue, reflection, and community engagement. Organizers say the program aims to bring people together across backgrounds to explore constructive ways to strengthen communities and promote unity.
Both events are open to the public.
