The words of “We Shall
Overcome” will ring loud
in Hermiston as members
of the Hermiston Cultural
Awareness Coalition hosts
the annual Martin Luther
King March.
“It’s important to have

Luther King’s legacy and the
work he began many years
ago,” said John Carbage,
president of the coalition.

iston event is Monday, Jan.

ist Church, 191 E. Gladys

ble in the community, Car-
bage said, and having city
offi cials involved gives the
event legitimacy. In addition,
he stresses that the gathering
isn’t confrontational.
“The walk we do is a
peace walk,” Carbage said.
”We also do a prayer. We
pray for the leaders.”
After the walk, the group
will meet inside the Meth-
odist church. The program
will include a time of sing-
ing, prayer and speakers.

is Roy Barron, a Hermiston

Bread tribute band returns to
Hermiston on Friday
A tribute band that plays the music
of Bread, an American soft rock group
from the 1970s, returns to Hermiston.
Toast will take the stage Friday at
7 p.m. in the Hermiston High School
auditorium, 600 S. First St. The group
played to a packed house when they
performed in Hermiston in the fall of
2018.
In October 1971, Bread debuted
at No. 77 on the Billboard Hot 100
Chart with their single, “Baby I’m-A
Want You.” The song peaked at No.
3 on Nov. 27, 1971, and was certi-
fi ed gold. Between 1970-77, Bread
charted 13 singles on the Hot 100,
which included 12 consecutive in the
Top 40, six Top Tens and one No. 1 —
“Make It With You.”
Jeff Snell, owner of Eastern Ore-
gon Physical Therapy, who describes
himself as a “big Bread fan,” is
excited that the group decided to
return to town. He was among a group
of music-loving businessmen that ini-
tially brought the Utah-based band to
Hermiston to increase entertainment
offerings.
The group features Jeff Clark (lead
vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboard),
John Uibel (vocals, bass guitar, key-
board), Brett Hart (vocals, drums,
percussion), Sam Cottrell (vocals,
lead guitar, mandolin), Troy Jol-
ley (vocals, keyboard, percussion)
and John Hanson (sound engineer-
ing, rhythm guitar). Founded in 2017,
the band offers a family-friendly con-
cert featuring the soft rock sounds of
Bread.
Advance tickets are $25 and can
be purchased at www.eventbrite.

A social activist and
civil rights leader, King
received the Nobel Peace
Prize in 1964. Also a pas-
tor and author, he was assas-
sinated in 1968 on the bal-

Tennessee.
King’s birthday was
approved as a federal hol-
iday in 1983 — by 2000,
all 50 states identifi ed it as
a state government holiday.
The holiday is celebrated on
the third Monday of January.

Robert Davis, treasurer
of the Hermiston Cultural

hopeful more of the younger
generation will come out for
the event. He said to carry
on King’s legacy, the youth
population needs to step up
into leadership roles.
Carbage is pleased with
the growth of peace walk

while progress has been
made, there is still much
work to be done.
