MATV Will Premiere “We Have A Dream” Martin Luther King Weekend

A Diverse Community Celebrates the Spirit of Dr. King’s Legacy

In the spring of 2008, the community of Malden, Massachusetts re-created Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech in a studio at Malden Access Television. Over a period of one week, over 150 community members, representing the incredibly diverse population of this city, each recited a line. Participants in this project were young and old; of every race, creed, and culture; gay and straight; and of varying abilities. The edited video, entitled “We Have A Dream,” not only recalls Martin Luther King’s famously inspirational speech which gave voice to the U.S. civil rights movement, but embodies the dream Dr. King describes, a dream of equality and inclusiveness for all Americans.

The video will have its premiere in Malden during Martin Luther King weekend, 2009. It will be the feature presentation during the 16th annual North Shore Black Women’s Association Martin Luther King Luncheon on Saturday, January 17 at Anthony’s Restaurant in Malden. On Sunday, January 18, it will have a second premiere at the First Parish in Malden, Unitarian Universalist, a free event open to the public. (See info on events below.) On Monday, the Martin Luther King holiday, the program will air continuously on the MATV Public Access Channel. On that day also, it will be posted on the MATV website at www.matv.org, as well as on youtube.

This project was supported in part by a grant from the Malden Cultural Council, a local agency, administered through the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
