Let Freedom Ring Celebration

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and Georgetown University celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a free, ticketed musical tribute, the Let Freedom Ring Celebration. The annual program, part of the Center’s Millennium Stage performance series, will feature musical performances by Christopher Jackson, esperanza spalding, Chelsey Green, Lew Sid, along with the NEWorks Voices of America and NEWorks House Band, led by music producer Nolan Williams Jr. The event is hosted by Taye Diggs. The event will occur on Sunday, January 19, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. Georgetown University will present the annual John Thompson Jr. Legacy of a Dream Award to Paula C. Thompson of Voices for a Second Chance. Voices for a Second Chance (VSC) provides essential reentry support and resources to individuals navigating the complexities of incarceration and reintegration. With a mission centered on empowering justice-involved individuals and fostering family and community connections, VSC has become a vital lifeline for over 2,000 individuals annually. The award is given by Georgetown University to a local individual who exemplifies the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For more information about the Legacy of a Dream Award, please visit: <a href="https://www.georgetown.edu/mlk-initiative/">https://www.georgetown.edu/mlk-initiative/</a> ﻿The ticket giveaway begins January 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Hall of Nations and will be limited to two tickets per person.
