]]> It was on August, 28th 1963 that civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr shared his vision for the future while marching to Washington DC to demand equality for all. 50 years on, his I Have A Dream speech remains one of the most stirring, historical moments in modern history, especially as it would come a year before the Civil Rights Act was passed, outlawing all types of discrimination in the US. Since then, King’s address has continued to inspire around the globe and a number of events will be held on Wednesday, August 28th to celebrate its impact on its 50th anniversary. 28_architects_of_republic The likes of Charlie Dark, Zena Edwards and Malika Booker will be part of an incredible line-up of contemporary artists who will descend on The Clore Ballroom at Royal Festival Hall to honour the speech through spoken word, music and film. There will also be a chance to learn protest and freedom songs at Voicelab’s Sing Freedom! workshop and sing them during a march from Jubilee Gardens to Queen’s Walk – but the main highlight of the event will be a rare yet welcome appearance from the legendary Last Poets, who rose to prominence during the civil rights movement. It’s set to be an inspiring day and evening where art celebrates history, so for more info, visit: www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatson/i-have-a-dream-architects-of-our-republic-78235

]]> After a day filled with London traffic, noisy iPods, and the  uncensored  discussion of schoolchildren on your way to work, the last thing you would want to do is listen to more racket and clamor! (The little tolerance left should surely be devoted to good ol’ Eastenders). However, the time has come to abandon this BBC ONE ritual – for one night, as least – and head to ‘Tongue Fu’ at the Rich Mix. It seeks to provide a more original, if not more satisfying, type of entertainment for your Thursday night. The line-up includes the regular BBC radio 4 guest Elvis McGonagall (pictured), and former SlamBassador, ‘Anthony Anaxagorou’ – so expect proverbial musings and feathery humour, laced with soundtracks played by the Tongue Fu live band. The Guardian has certified the night as “poetry, but not as you know it”, so if those horrible memories of incomprehensible sonnets arise whenever the word ‘poetry’ crops up, it may be worth attending this spoken word night on June 30 to change your mind.
