Dear Readers:>

In observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Rockville Central will not be publishing today.

If you are one of the many in the area who have the day off (or can get away for a long lunch), please consider attending the City’s 36th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday celebration. It happens today at noon, at Rockville High School (2100 Baltimore Road).

Actor Jim Lucas, a civil rights activist and follower of Dr. King’s legacy and teachings, will present an excerpt from Dr. King’s final speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.” (Listen to part of the original.) Other performers include:

  • Meloso Duo (Prelude)
  • Nationally renowned Duke Ellington School of the Arts Show Choir
  • Mount Calvary Baptist Church’s Puppet Ministry
  • Soul in Motion Players
  • Jerusalem Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church’s Inspirations
  • Youth Choir
  • Derrick R. Middleton, Dufief Elementary School


See you back here tomorrow!
