Ansonia Church to Celebrate MLK

MLK program in Ansonia uplifting, inspiring

On Monday my daughter and I attended an annual observance in Ansonia of the Martin Luther King Day holiday.

As in the past the program was sponsored by Ansonia Branch 2000 of the NAACP. This year it was held at Macedonia Baptist Church on Pershing Drive.

Members of the choir, Voices of Praise, perform.

We both enjoyed the uplifting music, and the speakers inspired us.

Special recognition must be given to an impressive Ansonia Middle School eighth grader.

Shamir Hughes, 13, read an essay about helping others.

Shamir reads his essay.

He exemplifies all that is good about the kids of today and he symbolizes hope for a brighter tomorrow.

I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
