An evening with MLK!

On May 7, 2008, the Northern Mariana Islands Council for the Humanities with support from the African American Cultural Preservation Committee hosted a unique event.
Bill Grimmette was invited to the island of Saipan to take us on a journey back and forwards in time. Bill does performances around the world in the character of Martin Luther King, Jr.  
Having Bill do such a performance along with the requisite audience question and answer participation, allows us to speculate and participate in discussions that might be taking place had Martin Luther King, Jr. been alive today.  
Here are a few photos from the evening's event.
