Civil Rights March on Washington, D.C. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mathew Ahmann in a crowd. 8/28/1963

MLK Peace Dinner

Tuesday January 27, 2026
5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

This show is a music, spoken word, and multi-media production by Dr. Ron McCurdy (Music Professor at University of Southern California and member of the Grammy Foundation) and is based on Langston Hughes’ masterwork, “Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz”. This epic poem serves as Hughes’ social commentary for the struggle for freedom and equality for Africans and African Americans in the 1960s. While it was written more than 50 years ago, the words continue to be uniquely relevant and timely today.

Paid or cross-park parking is available in Lot 10
