Celebrating MultiCulturalism In Memory of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King

Queens is arguably the most culturally diverse county in the United States.  Today we went to interfaith meeting at the Free Synagogue of Flushing to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr.  There were speeches by:

• Har Meri Preet - Sikh Center of Flushing
• Imam Yusef Ramadan - Masjid Nuriddin, Corona
• Rabbi Michael Weisser - Free Synagogue of Flushing

There were interfaith benedictions by all clergy present.  The program concluded by the entire audience singing We Shall Overcome

We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.

The Lord will see us through, The Lord will see us through,
The Lord will see us through someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.

We're on to victory, We're on to victory,
We're on to victory someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We're on to victory someday.

We'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand,
We'll walk hand in hand someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We'll walk hand in hand someday.

We are not afraid, we are not afraid,
We are not afraid today;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We are not afraid today.

The truth shall make us free, the truth shall make us free,
The truth shall make us free someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
The truth shall make us free someday.

We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall live in peace some
