“With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation to a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.” So said Dr. King in a speech given in 1963 in Kalamazoo’s Miller Auditorium.

Through the pieces on this program, the Kalamazoo Symphony and community partners reflect together to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Kandace Lavender of Read and Write Kalamazoo will give a spoken word performance reflecting on composer Margaret Bonds' "The Montgomery Variations." Featuring a side-by-side performance with the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra and the combined choruses of Kalamazoo Central and Loy Norrix High Schools, this event embodies music as a unifying force in our community.

Healing Together: A community-led Workshop Series for Racial Understanding and Empathy is a special event designed to foster a deeper understanding of racial experiences and provide a safe space for healing and personal care.

Participants will have the opportunity to listen to their peers' stories and share their own in a nurturing environment guided by professional therapists focused on inner peace and resilience. This event is not just a gathering; it's an opportunity for us to grow, learn, and heal together. We firmly believe in the strength of our community and the power of shared experiences to bring about genuine healing.

Amplified justice is hosting a real and courageous conversation about the barriers in our community that keep us from having true racial and class equality.

What is at the root of the problem in 2024?

What are the real solutions?

What can we do to create those solutions to racial in class inequality in New Orleans?
And what do need to ask of our public officials and leaders?

What do we do about anti-blackness amongst Black people?

How do we hold them and each other accountable?

What should be holding our community accountable to do realistically?
