Tamarac to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with an evening of music poetry and reflection on Jan. 16

Tamarac, Florida – An evening of reflection and artistic expression is set to take place in Tamarac as the city prepares to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through a special performing arts event designed to bring the community together.

The City of Tamarac is hosting “Rhythm of a Dream,” an event based on Dr. King’s message of peace, justice, and unity. The program will use the arts as its voice, using spoken word, poetry, music, and live performances to think about the ideas that shaped the civil rights struggle and are still important today.

The Tamarac Community Center, located at 8601 West Commercial Boulevard, will host the event on Friday, January 16, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Residents are welcome to come together for an evening that combines creative expression with meaningful remembering. This event will provide people a chance to think on the past while also getting involved in the community in the present.

Organizers say the event is supposed to be both uplifting and welcoming, showing how art can bring people of different ages and backgrounds together. The program’s goal is to capture the rhythm of Dr. King’s dream and the principles he stood for via performance and narrative. It also wants to encourage thoughtful debate and shared understanding.
