MOSA Hosts Dialogues on the Speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
As MOSA hosts The Spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. exhibit in its main gallery through September 2020, Five Rivers Chautauqua is convening bimonthly community dialogues based on the speeches and writings of Dr. King. In our second dialogue of this series, we will focus on the speech that Dr. King gave as he accepted the 1964 Nobel Prize for Peace. December 10th of this year marks the 55th anniversary of this event. In his speech he said, "I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality." Please come join in as we listen to Dr. King and determine where we are with the belief he stated in his acceptance speech. The event will be held from 3:30 to 5:00 PM on Saturday, December 14, 2019 at the Museum, located at 318 S. River St, Franklin.
Five Rivers Chautauqua
The Five Rivers Chautauqua was inspired by the Peace Dayton Collaborative Group and has become an organization dedicated to dialogue and events each summer and fall. The group has been integral in planting Peace Trees, the pine tree ceremonies that are a Native American tradition. During the Keeping the Tradition Pow Wow, the serene setting at SunWatch is transformed with the beat of drums and the sounds and rhythm of American Indian music. For American Indians, Pow Wow is a special time to reflect upon a rich heritage and come into the Pow Wow circle with honor and respect for one another and the drum. This Pow Wow is the culminating event of this year’s inaugural Five Rivers Chautauqua with story sharing and story listening as we gather in right relationship to celebrate our unity.
