In addition to our usual potluck events, the HUB is hosting a special
fundraiser for Ronald Kitchen and Marvin Reeves, two extraordinary men
who spent over 20 years behind bars for a crime they did not commit.
Mr. Kitchen was sentenced to be executed and Mr. Reeves received life.
They were both tortured by the infamous Jon Burge and his henchmen to
confess. After years of court hearings, grassroots activism and
publicity of their cases, they are now free men. They are rebuilding
their lives and integrating themselves back into society. They could
use some help!
the HUB is hosting an open mic/jam session/dinner to help Ronald and Marvin get back on their feet. Recite your poetry or stories, bring
your instruments and leave the cooking to us. We will provide dinner,
beverages, and dessert.
$15 suggested donation for dinner. There will be a dessert table.
