A choir's dedication

The DuPont Diversity Choir will perform at the "Morning Joy" event at 8 a.m. Sunday during the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial ceremony in Washington, D.C. The choir will sing a selection of songs chosen for the dedication, which was rescheduled because of the threat posed by Hurricane Irene. Participants include celebrities and civil rights leaders, as well as President Barack Obama, though the event is expected to draw only 50,000 people -- a quarter of the August estimate. The choir, founded in 1991, is 50 members strong and has a tradition of honoring the slain civil rights leader on his holiday in January. Also of note is that DuPont Co. donated $1 million toward the development of the $120 million memorial. [More]
