Express Yourself Studios will host virtually its 13th annual “Celebrate Dr. King: Explore the Dream Through Art” workshop, Monday, January 18, 11 AM and 1 PM (EST).
Learn about Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement through the reading and virtual sharing* of the book "Let the Children March" written by Monica Clark-Robinson and Illustrated by Frank Morrison. Then participate in an art project inspired by the book, exploring the themes of Peace, Equality, Friendship and Community.
The first 10 registrants to pre-register by Friday, January 15 will receive a copy of "Let the Children March."
