Open Mic rescheduled...January 28th...during lunch waves.

We have rescheduled the next Open Mic for Friday, January 28th, during the lunch waves.  The theme will be centered around Martin Luther King, Jr. and his "I have a dream" speech.  All poetry, short story reading, musical performances should try to focus on MLK, Jr. and his dream. 

Martin Luther King was a man who had a dream that his children "would not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." What are your dreams for the future?

He learned about Ghandi and then saw a way to achieve his dream through peaceful civil disobedience.

So come to Open Mic with a dream of yours and/or the profile of someone who by example has changed your life and/or helped you set a path to reach your dream.
