This year’s annual family-friendly festival will include a fireside chat and Q&A with 16 year-old author and activist, Yolanda Renee King, the only grandchild of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. Her new book We Dream A World is a call for unity and equality and is inspired by Langston Hughes’s seminal poem I Dream A World. She represents and embodies this year’s Fall Fest theme, “Courage”. King will engage in conversation with Anais Briscoe-Beuoy, a local youth leader and poet and Regional Scholastic Writing Award Winner.
In addition to Kings’ talk, local youth will perform their winning entries from this year’s Slammin’ Rhymes Challenge, a contest for poets, rappers, and spoken word artists in grades 6-12. The event will also feature performances a dance group, Theatre company, an acrobatic team, and more.
