Jamaica- Dr. Martin Luther King’s Historic Visit

This week the Backyard is thrilled to celebrate the historic

occasion of Dr. Martin Luther King’s visit to the Island.

It was the dream of Anthony Allen then a medical student

at the University of the West Indies (UWI) and a member

of the Chapel Management Committee to have the Reverend

Dr. Martin Luther King visit Jamaica. Nominated to deliver the sermon at the 1965 valedictory service, he and his wife Coretta arrived on June 20^th,1965 fulfilling Anthony’s dream.

Join us as we relive some of the treasurers of his unscripted

speech “Facing the Challenge of a New Age” that kept the

standing room audience riveted. If you or someone you know, was there for this once in a lifetime occasion, please come share your stories with us. The Labrishis live 8:00PM Thur. 3/1/12in the Backyard where we Celebrate, Enlighten, & Preserve the rich diverse culture of: Jamaica ‘Land We Love’.
