In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we would like to spotlight some of the music presented at the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

We Shall Overcome (performed by Joan Baez)
Only a Pawn in Their Game (performed by Bob Dylan)
When The Ship Comes In (performed by Bob Dylan)
Blowin’ in the Wind (performed by Peter, Paul, and Mary)
If I Had a Hammer (performed by Peter, Paul, and Mary)
How I Got Over (performed by Mahalia Jackson)
I’ve Been ‘Buked and I’ve Been Scorned (performed by Mahalia Jackson)
I’m On My Way (performed by Odetta)
He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands (performed by Marian Anderson)

Additionally, below are a couple pieces of music inspired by the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

Happy Birthday (Stevie Wonder) - This 1981 song was released by Wonder as part of the campaign for the establishment of MLK Day.
Three Black Kings (Duke Ellington) - The final movement of this 1974 work, the last major work of Duke Ellington, celebrates Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr. stands as a pillar for justice & highlights the importance of fighting for justice in America. While he is the focal point of much discussion on MLK Day and during Black History Month, Dr. King collaborated with many other passionate individuals who fought for justice through a multitude of means. King spoke of the importance of unity and collective action to cause meaningful change in the lives of Black Americans in particular, work that many continue in the present day.

Currently, ICE is an all too present aspect of daily news and daily life. The increased presence of ICE since the second inauguration of Donald Trump has negatively impacted the lives of immigrant communities in particular and has sown feelings of mistrust and fear in many communities at large. Today, we would like to share a new article on our website about ICE, including resources on how to support at-risk community members during times of increased ICE presence.

As an act of service, our amazing staff music therapist Payton offered a music therapy session designed for the special education classroom at Faraday Elementary school last week. Here is what their staff had to say:



[Image Description: The words "I truly appreciate the fact that you offered your services to our school, Faraday Elementary. Payton Cole did a fantastic job, and the students who are typically nonverbal and quiet danced, verbalized, and played their instruments. -Dawn Robinson, IB Coordinator, Faraday Elementary School" are presented in pink quotation marks against a light pink background with a white border.
