This family-friendly community celebration will honor the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. with the theme of “Voting: The Heart of Democracy”. The Jaffrey Grade School Chorus will perform songs and lead the traditional audience participation sing. Guest speaker Ali Sekou will share his inspiring journey to citizenship and the right to vote. Ali Sekou grew up in a small village in Niger, immigrated and settled in New Hampshire, learned English, went on to higher education, and made history as the first New American, first African American, and first Muslim to be elected to the Concord City Council. A reception with refreshments will follow.

The Jaffrey-Rindge MLK Day commemoration brings people together to celebrate shared
positive values in ways that lift the spirit, enrich understanding of human experience, and sustain a hopeful outlook. All are welcome at this free event.
