  honors the memory and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. with its ann
 ual Poster Exhibition and Program. Posters will be on view from Alexandria
  City Public School students in the Vola Lawson Lobby of City Hall from Ja
 nuary 18\, 2016 through February 29\, 2016.  The Students' Recognition Pro
 gram will be Monday\, January 18\, 2016\, in the City Council Chambers\, C
 ity Hall\, 301 King Street\, Alexandria\, Virginia from 1:00 p.m. to 2:15 
 p.m. The Reception will immediately follow the program and will be in the 
 Vola Lawson Lobby of City Hall from 2:15 to 3:00 p.m. Sponsors are The Ale
 xandria Society for the Preservation of Black Heritage\, Inc.\, Alexandria
  Black History Museum\, Alexandria Commission for the Arts\, Alexandria Ci
 ty Public School Art Teachers\, and the Office of Equity and Cultural Comp
 etency.  This program is free and open to the public.\n\nThe 2016 exhibiti
 on will display students' illustrations of their own family's struggles an
 d journeys to reach Alexandria\, perhaps from another country or situation
 .  With the theme:  "Journeys: Your Road to Alexandria\," students answere
 d the question\, "How did you come to Alexandria?"  Were your ancestors se
 ttlers\, brought here as slaves\, immigrants looking for opportunity or fr
 eedom?  The story of our city begins with journeys from all over the world
 .  The struggle for freedom and equality begins with sharing our experienc
 es and stories with each other.  Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.'s life-long 
 work for civil rights in America was a journey to freedom for justice and 
 respect. \n\nThe Martin Luther King Jr. Poster Exhibition started as a con
 test in 1990. It was created by the Alexandria Society for the Preservatio
 n of Black Heritage\, Inc. (ASPBH)\, which highlighted the art work of Ale
 xandria City Public School students. The ASPBH is the friends group for th
 e Alexandria Black History Museum (formally known as the Alexandria Black 
 History Resource Center). Under the leadership of two memorable society pr
 esidents\, Harry Burke and Carlton A. Funn Sr.\, the contest grew from a s
 mall exhibit and program held at the Alexandria Black History Museum\, to 
 a larger exhibition held in the Vola Lawson Lobby of City Hall in January 
 and February of each year. In addition to the exhibition\, a formal progra
 m is held in City Hall honoring the legacy of Dr. King. In 2013\, the cont
 est became a Memorial Exhibition honoring the late ASPBH President Carlton
  A. Funn\, Sr. In 2014\, the exhibition and program returned to City Hall.
   The 2016 posters will remain on view in the Vola Lawson Lobby through th
 e month of February.\n\n\nLocation: City Hall\nContact Person: Audrey Davi
