The planning committee for Syracuse University’s 36th Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration is seeking nominations for the Unsung Hero Awards, as well as recorded audition videos for performances. The celebration will take place in January 2021; further details will be announced soon.
The Unsung Hero nominations and auditions videos are both due on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Audition and nomination forms, as well as additional information, are available at mlk.syr.edu.
