Press Release

A Denver nonprofit has converted its acclaimed “At the Table with Dr. King” program to online format – because now more than ever, we must not abandon our social responsibilities.  It’s normally a live show by a 10-part band but has been adapted for online use because its message is germane to the times – and urgent.  “At the Table with Dr. King” highlights the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to call its audience to action and service in their communities – and utilizes a multimedia platform of music, spoken word, and images from the Civil Rights era to make the challenge fresh, engaging, and urgent.  The bottom line is simple: Listen for your calling.  It’s going to involve how you can uniquely serve your community using your unique gifts.  Go Live it out.  Repeat.  Listen, Live, Repeat. 

As we reimagine and reinvent community, to what better authority could we turn for guidance than Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?  More than 225,000 people worldwide have been impacted by “At the Table with Dr. King” through 400+ performances in schools and concert halls across 20 US states and in India, the UAE, and Israel.  In 2018, as part of the Arts Envoy program of the US State Department, a mix of nearly 3400 people – Israelis, Palestinians, and Bedouins – experienced “At the Table with Dr. King” during 8 events.  Dr. King’s Beloved Community message travels well – and the current pandemic has only increased the urgency of the need for it to be heard.
