Among the celebrities and dignitaries who will honor the bigger-than-life civil rights hero will be Andrew Young, Ted Turner, The Indigo Girls, Jennifer Holiday, Terri J. Vaughn, The Morehouse College Glee Club, Dionne Warwick, Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra, Demetria McKinney, Jennifer Holliday, Regina Belle, Tichina Arnold and Gary Jeter,
The celebration will take place at the Tabernacle on Saturday, March 28, 2015
