Presidential Inaugural Gala - "The Dream Come True"
Washington, DC (BlackNews.com 1/8/09) - Forty five years ago, SCLC founder Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, had a dream. He foresaw the day in which the greatness of America would be realized...a day where Americans would be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.
Together with the NAACP, CORE, A. Phillip Randolph Institute, labor unions, and the SCLC, Dr. King marched on Washington and elsewhere to make the dream a reality. "The election of Barack Obama as the 44th President is a historic milestone in the realization of this dream" says National President and CEO of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC).
In celebration, SCLC will host "The Civil Rights Presidential Inaugural Ball" on the evening of January 20, 2009 featuring some of the nation's civil rights pioneers who helped pave the way for this remarkable day. The Black Tie GALA will take place on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 from 7:30 pm to 1:00 am at the L'Enfant Plaza Hotel, 480 L'Enfant Plaza, SW, Washington, D.C. 20024.

Philip Randolph Institute (APRI), MLK National Memorial Project Foundation, Inc., National Action Network, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation (NCBCP), National Council of Negro Women, Inc. (NCNW), Rainbow Push Coalition and other leaders of justice invites you to celebrate this magical day with a spiritual retrospective look at its long and windy road and join them for this once-in-a-lifetime gala.
