April 4, 2013 marks the 45th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The National Cultural Diversity Awareness Council will be hosting the 11th Annual "Keeping the Dream Alive®" Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dinner to call to remembrance the tragic event that happened on April 4, 1968 which had a profound effect on our nation.
 
In the summer after the passing of Dr. King, Coretta Scott King and her four children sought peace and refuge in New Hampshire at a private residence on Lake Winnipesaukee. The King family were the guests of the Dunfey and Hirshberg families. During her long stay in New Hampshire, Mrs King wrote her first book "My Life with Martin Luther King, Jr.".  Members of the Dunfey and Hirshberg families will share their experience of being host to Dr. King's immediate family.

The "Keeping the Dream Alive®" dinner will also focus on the positive impact that Dr. King's legacy had on making America a land of opportunity.

Additional speakers include Nannu Nobis, President of Nobis Engineering and former U.S. Senator Scott Brown. Both speakers will share their "real life" experience at pursuing the American dream, while over coming obstacles, and how Dr. King may have had an impact on their life. 

Sen. Brown's book "Against all odds" will also be available for purchase and signed by the former Senator. Senator Brown is currently a Fox News contributor and a counsel with Nixon Peabody, LLP in Boston, Massachusetts. The Master of Ceremonies is Lee Nyquist, Esq., attorney for Shaheen and Gordon, P.A. 

The "Keeping the Dream Alive®" Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dinner is a charitable event. Tickets and sponsorships are tax deductible. Proceeds will give up to 450 middle school students the opportunity to attend the "Keeping the Dream Alive®" cultural diversity youth workshop.
