The Providence Children's Museum presents a powerful celebration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, January 16. The celebration features an exhibit, activities and a live performance with songs and stories.

Rochel Coleman and Valerie TutsonAward-winning storytellers and actors Rochel Coleman and Valerie Tutson portray Civil Rights activists Ralph Abernathy, Rosa Parks and more in their moving "M.L.K: Amazing Grace" at 11:30 AM, 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM. Coleman and Tutson have performed the show at venues throughout the country.

From 12:00 to 4:00 PM, families can also browse an exhibit of photographs, text and a selection of carefully chosen books about the American Civil Rights Movement and Dr. King's philosophy of nonviolence. Visitors can choose to participate in a thought-provoking interactive exploration of the negative power of discrimination, during which they encounter "red only" and "green only" labels throughout the Museum. Educators will be on hand to talk to families following this provocative exercise and invite them to record their responses.
