"Fulfilling the Dream" is an event dedicated to fostering community interaction, inspiring new and creative action toward social justice challenges in Los Angeles, celebrating the profound impact of Dr. King and African American leaders on American life, and opening new dialogue to further the goals of the Civil Rights Movement in the 21st Century. As a choral concert, the evening will feature choirs from across Los Angeles (see list below) and a 6:30 organ prelude by John West. Audience members will also participate in several of the songs. The evening will feature guest speakers who will represent some of the important initiatives for social movement in Los Angeles. Participants will be encouraged to take action, finding connections with other change-oriented participants who are gathered. In what will become an annual event, this inaugural evening will serve as a hub for positive change in Los Angeles.
