Canio’s Cultural Cafe remembered Dr. King
Tramar Pettaway singing Amazing Grace
A packed room listened intently as community members Joanne Carter and Lisa Votino-Tarrant read excerpts from Dr. King’s speeches on Faith, Social Justice, and Equality. Tramar Pettaway raised his voice in song to pay tribute to Dr. King’s legacy. We watched and listened to Dr. King’s final speech in Memphis in support of the sanitation workers strike.
With the lights low Tramar closed out our program with We Shall Overcome.
