Among the evening’s events is a musical performance by St. John the Divine’s Choir located in Moorhead, and Ricot Aladin, a local Haitian artist whose music focuses on love, unity and diversity.
Civil Rights era reflections and readings will be presented by students from North Dakota State University’s Black Student Association.

A keynote address on “Living the Dream” will be delivered by Thomas Jefferson, a U.S. Army veteran and a State Farm local business owner. Jefferson is also chair of the FMWF Chamber of Commerce Professionals of Color committee.
