There is a project in honour of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I am so happy to spread the word that Canadian Artist Bonnie Ste-Croix has been selected for the International Compilation Celebrating the Life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Bonnie Ste-Croix's song “You Are The Reason” has been chosen to be part of an International creative collaboration entitled Dream On! -a project dedicated to creating positive change in the world and honouring the memory, work and dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
All songs included in this project are either directly inspired by Dr. King and his impact on the world, or in alignment with his message of peaceful empowerment.
Dream On! will also be creating a documentary on this project, its intent, its music and its artists. In addition Dream On! will be part of a concert in Washington DC on Martin Luther King Day in 2009.
In response to the announcement of the news Bonnie Ste-Croix stated, “This is one of the most meaningful moments in my music career. My dream has always been to make a living doing music and have that path allow me the ability to do humanitarian work. I have written that exact vision out so many times- it is such a deep honour for me to be part of this project that brings both music and the principles of peaceful empowerment together. My intention in writing “You Are The Reason” was specifically around trying to create change without anger or aggression …the song was all about creating a message of hope and inspiration at a time when our whole world needs to stand up and remember that we all have a part in keeping peace and human dignity alive.”
Bonnie’s song “You Are The Reason” was also recently selected for B.C.’s Music Against Racism (MAR) CD Compilation part of a "Make a Case Against Racism" kit for Grades 4-7 in British Columbia. This project works to promote multiculturalism, cultural diversity, and awareness of racism.
“You Are The Reason” was previously posted on this blog around Christmas of last year. I am proud to repost it for anyone out there who missed it,
This is a beautiful song and video.
