CATERING BY CAMERON MITCHELL CATERING Tuesday, August 14, 2018

Dear Friends,

In this 50th year since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the leadership of The King Arts Complex is proud to honor R. Guy Cole, Jr., Algenon L. Marbley, and Alex Shumate for their outstanding contributions and work in continuing Dr. King’s legacy of civil rights and justice for all.

Please mark your calendars for Thursday, October 4, 2018, when Judges Cole and Marbley and Alex Shumate, Esq. will be honored at The King Arts Complex’s Legends and Legacies Award Ceremony and Reception. The Ceremony takes place from 7:00 pm to 8:15 pm in the historic Pythian Theater at the Complex. Jerry Revish will serve as master of ceremonies, and special guest Abigail Wexner will moderate the “fireside chat” with the honorees. A VIP reception will follow in the Nicholson Auditorium.

Judges Cole and Marbley and Attorney Shumate have dedicated their lives to equality and justice. Indeed, their life’s work exemplifies “the dream.” They personify Dr. King’s teachings, not only in their own distinguished careers, but in the manner in which they have “paid it forward.”

Judge Cole hails from Birmingham, Alabama, where in his youth he crossed paths with Dr. King. Judge Marbley was raised in rural North Carolina, in the small community of Nashville where separate meant unequal. Alex Shumate was born in DeKalb, Mississippi, and his family was a part of the great migration north, in their case to Ohio. After the assassination of Dr. King in 1968, all three honorees were motivated to continue his legacy.

The honorees’ careers and achievements speak to the courage and determination that are the hallmarks of a generation inspired by Dr. King. We honor The Honorable R. Guy Cole, Jr., Chief Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit; The Honorable Algenon Marbley, U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Ohio; and Alex Shumate, Esq., Managing Partner, North America, Squire Patton Boggs. Their remarkable contributions to civic and business life in Central Ohio and beyond will leave a lasting legacy in our community.

Legends and Legacies will feature a “fireside chat” in which the honorees will discuss their journeys, storied careers, and the inspirational ways they give back to community. What a wonderful way to honor Dr. King’s memory!

Enclosed, please find sponsorship and ticket purchase opportunities. The King Arts Complex will offer complimentary tickets to students from KIPP Columbus and The Ohio State University. We encourage you to support this event and to join us the evening of October 4th as we celebrate Judges Cole and Marbley and Alex Shumate, Esq.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Brenda and Michael Drake Lori Barreras and Alex R. Fischer LEGENDS and
