8/28/13
Delaware State University and the United Way of Delaware took time out on Aug. 28 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic 1963 March on Washington.
For images from the event – held in the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center – as well as from the Aug. 24 gathering of students who went to the weekend March on Washington events, click on the below photo slideshow. It is followed by more information about the Aug. 28 program.
The Rev. John Moore, vice president of resource development for the United Way of Delaware and a DSU alumnus, returned to his alma mater to give his powerful recitation of “I Have a Dream” with an uncanny similarity to Dr. King’s speech nuances. There were also performances by Amillion the Poet, the mime ministry of Perfect Praise and the DSU Gospel Choir as well as thoughtful perspectives from DSU President Harry L. Williams; Michelle Taylor, president and CEO of the United Way of Delaware; Lance Edwards, president of the DSU Student United Way: and SGA President Marcus Delancey. Pamela Adams, DSU director of spiritual life and University chaplain, coordinated the event in conjunction with the United Way of Delaware.
