[Martin
Luther King Spiritual Choir singing at Middlebury College during 2011
observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday]
Prof.
François S. Clemmons writes of the above photo: “It was last year
during the MLK National Holiday Celebration. AND the Middlebury
Martin Luther King Choir sang several spirituals from the Civil
Rights era: We Shall Over
Come; The Storm Is Passing Over; Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me
Around; Ah Woke Up This Morning Wid My Mind Stayed On Freedom; and
This Little Light
Of Mine. The same choir
is singing again in celebration of the legacy of Dr. King at Mead
Chapel on Middlebury College’s campus. It’s our 14th
annual concert in his memory. It’s free and open to the public. I
founded the group and am it’s conductor.
Most
Sincerely,
François S.
Clemmons"
