The family-friendly festival will include a dynamic speech from 15 year-old author and activist, Yolanda Renee' King, the only grand-child of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. Her new book "We Dream A World" is a call for unity and equality and is inspired by Langston Hughes's seminal poem "I Dream A World". Yolanda Renee King is leading a new generation of modern activists. Though the 15-year-old never met her grandfather, she is galvanizing countless young people to stand up and speak out on a range of issues affecting the world today. She represents and embodies this year's fall fest theme, "Courage".
