Footsteps placed in historic site during Trumpet Awards
The Footsteps of eleven new revered civil rights luminaries will be added to the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame.
This induction ceremony will be one of the featured events of the Annual Trumpet Awards and is scheduled for January 12, at 9:00 a.m. at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, National Park Service, located at 450 Auburn Avenue (Atlanta, GA). The program preceding the induction ceremony will be held at the Ebenezer Baptist Church and the Ceremonial Host for this year’s occasion is Frank Ski with WVEE FM (V103) Radio. The program and unveiling of the footsteps are free and open to the public.
The International Civil Rights Walk of Fame was created to give recognition to those brave soldiers of justice who sacrificed and struggled to make equality a reality for all. This extraordinary display has become one of the most visited tourist attractions in the city of Atlanta and has enriched the heritage of the civil rights movement. The shoes used to create the footsteps will also be on display during the unveiling program.
