The Martin Luther King Jr. Realizing the Dream Committee will be hosting their 24th annual “Realizing the Dream” concert on Saturday, Jan. 19 in Moody Music Building’s Concert Hall.

Grammy-winning singing ensemble Take 6 and the Aeolians of Oakwood University in Huntsville, Ala., will perform at the event.

Previous performers at this concert have included James Earl Jones, Stevie Wonder, Yolanda Adams, Maya Angelou and Cicely Tyson.

“The Committee works throughout the year planning and implementing events such as the MLK Distinguished Lecture Series, the Legacy Banquet, a performing arts event as well as the annual concert,” said committee chairwoman Janet Griffith, who works at the University as the assistant provost in the area of communications and community affairs.

“The Committee works with the UA School of Music and the community to select artists whose performances are entertaining and inspirational in keeping with the spirit and ideals of Dr. King,” she said.

According to their website, the MLK Jr. Committee exists to “raise consciousness about injustice and promote human equality, peace and social justice by creating educational and cultural opportunities for growth, empowerment and social change so that every person may experience the bounty of life’s abundant possibilities.”

The committee is comprised of faculty members and staff from The University of Alabama, Stillman College and Shelton State Community College, as well as various leaders in the community.

Take 6 is one of the most celebrated groups in music history. Over the course of its 25-year history, the sextet has won 10 Grammys, 10 Dove Awards and a Soul Train Award.

They previously performed at the 12th annual “Realizing the Dream” concert in 2001.

The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be reserved over the phone at (205) 308-7111.
