There are a number of MLK Day observances in the Seattle area, including, of course, the day of service.
A young woman (8-3/4), Barbara De Veaux, is featured at the Garfield Community Center’s “Yes We Can” Celebration: http://www.seattle.gov/parks/centers/Garfield/MLK_Celebration.pdf
She’s going to open the program, singing “Lift Every Voice.” (She has one powerful voice to lift!)
If you attended the Cooper School Closing meeting Tuesday night you heard Barbara singing “The Coooper School Blues” with the Cooper Elementary Jazz Band. Hope to have more for you later, but just wanted to let you know what’s happening in Seattle and its relationship to our own little corner of the world. :-)
