2nd Annual MLK Creative Day of Service
Mahogany is proud to announce our
2nd Annual Creative Day of Service.
Like last year, we have an afternoon of fun, learning and activities to keep the whole family engaged in creative expression to honor an American icon.
The afternoon features kids arts and crafts activities, painting, poetry and short story readings, live music and of course refreshments for all. In addition there will be group discussions on Kings legacy and his work.
Pre-Order the Commemorative Tshirt!
To celebrate our 2nd annual event, consider purchasing a tshirt to take home! Designed by Scott Terry, this is a limited-edition design so order yours today! We will stop taking orders on Saturday, January 16.
This years tshirt sales proceeds will benefit The Hospitality Center and Now What Inc., two Racine organizations dedicated to helping others.
Shirts will come in the color black. Youth and adult sizes are available.
“We had such a positive experience last year that I decided to make our event an annual tradition in the community. King was an extraordinary human being whose legacy should be carried on for future generations to be inspired by his life. ”
Activities:
The day features a fun day filled with creative and engaging activities both in-person and virtually. A day of kids crafts, performances, games, food, art, painting and dialogue on 3 different topics that emphasize the life and work of Dr. King.
The virtual component of the 2nd Annual MLK Creative Day of Service event features three community conversations.
VIRTUAL ACTIVITIES
1. The Black Student Unions of UW-Parkside, UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee and Carthage College, will lead our virtual community conversation in the Young Adult Symposium on social justice and civil rights in this day and age and its effects on young people.
2. Educator and community activist Aaron Eick will speak on King as the consummate community organizer. Speaking on the tenets and the impact organizing did for the movement. In addition, Eick will touch on how King brought a multi-ethnic, diverse coalition to the cause of civil rights for Black Americans and others.
3. Nick Demske, County Supervisor - 1st District
will speak on King the radical. As we learn to understand King, we learn that King was increasingly making his radical views on divestiture a more pronounced position. Demske will speak on those elements of the world leader we knew as Dr. King.
** PLEASE NOTE** Due to COVID we will be limiting the number of in-person attendees. Masks are required at all times, social distancing will be in place and hand sanitizer will be on site.
