On Monday, January 18, 2010 under the auspices of the Jewish Federation of the Bluegrass many members of the Jewish community will join together to help commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The traditional Freedom March lineup will begin in Heritage Hall at the Lexington Center at 9:30 A.M. The march will start at 10:00 AM. The Commemorative Program begins at 11:00 a.m.

Please march with us under the banner of the Jewish Federation of the Bluegrass and participate in this very important community event. Be at Heritage Hall at 9:30 AM. Historically, the Jewish community has had a leadership role in the civil rights movement. It is important that we continue to have a presence.

PLAN TO ATTEND!

When Martin Luther King, Jr.  preached his message of equality in America, American Jews immediately  understood that his cause was also theirs; they became involved and supportive of his struggle for Civil Rights helped galvanize the movement.
