The Rothko Chapel continues its tradition of honoring The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life with a discussion and performance on his birthday. This year the Chapel is honored to welcome award-winning artist David Banner, Houston legend Bernard "Bun B" Freeman, musical ambassador Toni Blackman, and author Dr. Anthony Pinn to discuss the intersection of music and civil rights; Aundrea Matthews moderates. How has hip hop contributed to the conversations on racial justice, including the Black Lives Matter movement? Do artists have a responsibility to MLK’s legacy? Following the discussion, join a reception on the plaza featuring a cipher of local Houston artists, including Genesis Blu.
