Celebration on Ashland Plaza
1:00–2:30PM   Monday, January 16, 2023
​Ashland Downtown Plaza

Ashland invites you to come together on the Plaza to listen to Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech and hear from local leaders and heroes of civil rights, including:
  • Social Equity and Racial Justice Commission
  • Why We Can’t Wait book panel
  • Dr. Geneva Craig
  • Freedom Rider John L. Doland
  • D.L. Richardson
  • Mayor Julie Akins
  • Councilor Gina DuQuenne
Please consider your and your family's COVID risks before attending any gathering, even outside. Experts favor N95/KN95/KF94 masks.

Sorry, there is no official livestream of the event today, although Ashland.News has mentioned one. If I learn of a stream, I'll link it here. The City's Plaza webcam is online, but no sound. We hope you can join us in person! —somlk.org
