A Day to Honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This Monday, January 16th from 5:30 to 8:00 pm, the Union Project and the Open Door are hosting an event to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This event will feature a free gospel choir concert by *James Zielger and Another Level Gospel Choir* and *Dr. Sheila Johnson with the First Baptist Church of Penn Hills*. In addition there will be free food from the Soul Food Connection, a multimedia presentation of the speeches of Dr. King and our very special guest speaker, *Rev. Dr. James Robinson*. Dr. Robinson, better known as “Jimmy Joe”, was the first African American football player at the University of Pittsburgh and a 30-year pastor of Bidwell Presbyterian Church in Manchester. He marched and was jailed with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement and here in Pittsburgh helped save the North Side from riot-related damage after the assassination of Dr. King. Pittsburgh Magazine named him a “Pittsburgher of the Century.” And together with his wife, Betty Hord Robinson they created what is now the Manchester Youth Development Center. Rev. Dr. Robinson will reflect on the meaning and message of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Please join us, this Monday, to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King.
