The Bartlett High School choir cheers a solo rendition of Amazing Grace by John "Pypes" Teamer before joining in during a program honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Friday afternoon, January 29, 2016, at Bartlett High School. Begich Middle School choir members also participated following a performance earlier in the day at their school. Jean Pollard and Dev Williams pulled together the annual events with volunteers from the community speaking and joining in with the choirs. Themes of education, leadership and unity were stressed. "This is for everybody!," said Pollard. "He wanted us to live in peace together," the Rev. Michael Bunton said of King. "That is what he lived for, and that is also what he died for."
