River Forest Public Library to Stage MLK Day Tribute

Program will feature the Oak Park and River Forest High School Gospel Choir in honor of Martin Luther King Day.

The OPRF Gospel Choir will honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during a public concert at 2 p.m. Monday, Jan. 21, at the River Forest Public Library, 735 Lathrop Ave.

The choir will share songs, including some of King’s favorites. The concert is free.

The Gospel Choir, which has been in existence since 1979, is a multicultural choir ensemble at Oak Park and River Forest High School.

“We wanted to commemorate MLK Day in a big way this year," said Blaise Dierks, adult services librarian. "Partnering with the OPRF Gospel Choir seemed like the perfect way to get the community involved and honor Dr. King."
