IU Choral Ensemble to inspire with song at MLK luncheon

|
Inspiring songs performed by members of the African American Choral Ensemble of Indiana University will enliven the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Luncheon, Wednesday, January 14, at IU Kokomo. Directed by James E. Mumford, the Ensemble delivers a broad repertoire of spirituals, folk forms, traditional and contemporary gospel music and formally composed works by African American artists. Offshoot groups of the Ensemble have opened for such legendary performers as The Blind Boys of Alabama and Ray Charles. Held in Room 130 of the Kelley Student Center, the luncheon honors Martin Luther King Jr.’s contributions in bringing peaceful civil rights reforms to the United States. Tickets are $15. To make reservations, contact the IU Kokomo Office of Campus Climate at (765) 455-9359. The luncheon will include comments by community and student leaders and presentation of the Donald Lane Service Award. The award recognizes faculty and staff members whose campus contributions further the vision of Donald Lane, a former director of Continuing Studies. Before his death in 1999, Lane established the Enhancing Minority Attainment Conference, which brings educators from all over the country to Kokomo for lectures and workshops dealing with education issues of minority rights and inclusion.
