MLK Day Community Event: Living Voices presents The Right to Dream & Fly for Freedom

Join Vashon Center for the Arts for a free community event on Monday, January 18 at 2pm in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

This year, we are proud to welcome Living Voices for two powerful multimedia performances that bring pivotal moments in American history to life through dynamic solo performances, archival film, and deeply personal storytelling.

The Right to Dream

Journey into the heart of the Civil Rights Movement through the eyes of a young Black person coming of age in the segregated South. From sit-ins and marches to the fight for voting rights, The Right to Dream explores the courage of young activists, the power of community organizing, and the personal sacrifices made in pursuit of equality and justice.

Fly for Freedom

Discover the often-overlooked stories of Black women during World War II and their extraordinary contributions both at home and abroad. Through the experiences of a young aspiring pilot, Fly for Freedom highlights the Rosie the Riveters, the Tuskegee Airmen, and the Double Victory campaign—a movement fighting for victory against fascism overseas and racism at home.

Together, these compelling performances honor the voices and experiences of those who challenged injustice and helped shape a more equitable future. Join us for an afternoon of remembrance, inspiration, and meaningful reflection on the ongoing importance of civil rights, democracy, and community.

Admission is free. Reservations encouraged.
