Description
In the Name of Love, The Annual Musical Tribute honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, featuring the legendary Grammy Award Winner Jennifer Holliday; the 65-voice Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir; and the 250-voice Oakland Children’s Community Choir under the musical direction of Melanie DeMore. Archival footage of Dr. King’s moving oratories will be interspersed throughout the evening, and the 8th Annual City of Oakland Citizen Humanitarian Award will be presented to an Oakland citizen. The Oakland Community Exhibition, apre-concert event held in the Paramount's lobby, provides exposure to over 30 Oakland non-profits and businesses working to make a difference. All these elements help to make this one of Oakland's most significant events of the year.
In the Name of Love remains Oakland’s only annual non-denominational musical tribute to Dr. King. It is an extremely significant civic and cultural event, bringing our diverse community together to pay tribute to Dr. King’s message of community, equality and inclusion.
Adults, elders, children and families, from extremely diverse backgrounds, come together to share in the inspiration of Dr. King's teachings and leave feeling unified, inspired, and positive about our collective and personal potential.
