Yesterday in the Auditorium the annual Martin Luther King Jr. day celebration took place. It opened with the black national anthem led by students from Harvest prep. The Youth Rally featured Tish Jones as the emcee, with a welcome from Mary Mackbee. There were performances from the art of dance, Nigerian dancers, and the Danza mexica cuauhtemoc dancers.There were prayers from Darryl Sledge and the Masjid Annur Mosque youth, and a poem performed by Tameishey Brown and Morian Collins. But, the main attraction was the keynote speaker Jeremiah Ellis with a wonderful speech about education.
