Long Road to Freedom: Harriet and Martin's journey on stage
Diane Faison has performed as Harriet Tubman more than 300 times on her struggle for freedom - her own and others. Chuck Fager was a civil rights worker in Selma, Ala., during the 1965 voting rights campaign. He served as unarmed security for Dr Martin Luther King, Jr., who faced daily death threats. Chuck wrote four books, including Eating Dr. King's Dinner, and brings his gripping historic experiences to life for his audience and readers. Books will be available for signing. Refreshments provided by Brookdale Senior Living.

Don’t Like Your Medicare Advantage Plan? You May Be Able to Change.
If you missed Medicare’s Open Enrollment Period, or if you have had second thoughts, you may still be able to change. For those with a Part C Medicare Advantage Plan, you can change to another Advantage Plan or return to Original Medicare one time between Jan, 1 and March 31. (Aren’t sure whether you have an Advantage Plan? Check your insurance card. If it says “PPO” or “HMO” anywhere on the card, you do!)
Make an appointment online or call 919-245-4274 to meet with a certified counselor from the NC Department of Insurance. Appointments available at both the Passmore Center in Hillsborough, and the Seymour Center in Chapel Hill.
