In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, Christ Church Cathedral is hosting the third annual “Let Freedom Ring” -- a daylong reading of his writings and speeches on Monday, January 16, 2012.
The Nave of the Cathedral (13th street between Olive and Locust, across from the Central Library) will be open from 9 am through 5 pm for the reading, which will be accompanied by a visual display of pictures of the civil rights leader. The public is invited both to come and listen and also to take part in the reading. There is no admission charge.
