Wednesday Breakfast Blend presents:
As we mark the 50th anniversary of his death, we celebrate Dr. King with words and song. Featuring a reading by Richmond’s Ana Edwards and Walker Richardson from his March 14, 1968 speech at Gross Pointe (Mich.) High School.
Also, I have tickets for Maria Schneider Orchestra’s show Thursday at the Modlin Center for the Arts! We’ll give them away in the second hour.
