Two Great Martin Luther King Jr. Celebrations
By Raymond Tyler
The weekend of January 19th the city of Atlantic City (along with the rest of America) will celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I would like to point out two great celebrations in Atlantic City.
The first is an event great for the entire family at The Atlantic City Free Public Library located at 1 North Tennessee Avenue in Atlantic city. The 6th Annual MLK Read In, local people of note from Atlantic city will stop in at 1pm to read various selections from Dr. King’s inspirational writings including “I have Been To The Mountaintop” and “Letter From a Birmingham Jail.” People with library fines due may also on this day, January 19th, bring in canned food for the food bank and in return have their fines waived. For more information on the entire program please call 609-345-2269
The second event is for my fellow grown ups.
The 2019 Marty Small Boardwalk Black Out
Saturday January 19th at 10pm in The Adrian Phillips Ballroom of Boardwalk Hall.
City Council President Marty Small has been celebrating his time in office annually since his first election. Since then his Marty Small Ball has meant a much needed shot in the arm during AC’s slow winter months. This year’s event held at Boardwalk Hall promises to be the biggest one yet.
People from all over the east coast attend and this year’s theme is the Black experience (meaning you can be any color, race, or creed and attend but you must wear Black to get in.) More info and ticket info at www.MartySmall.com.
