Luther King Jr. and the link between the civil rights and labor movements.

movements MOVE! We share and learn from one another and bring different
forms of cultural expression to our endeavors. The Festival program
includes workshops and concert performances. It is held on Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. weekend in January.

Modest salary of approximately $800 per month, for a minimum of 4 to 6
