PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Mayor David N. Cicilline will induct three people into the City's 2009 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Hall of Fame tomorrow night.

The inductees are former Providence Journal Political Columnist M. Charles Bakst, Black Repertory Company Chairman Michael S. Van Leesten and Young Voices Co-Founder Chace Baptista.

They're being honored for their demonstrated efforts to carry on the legacy of the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. by making substantial contributions to acceptance, social justice, civil rights and equality.

The ceremony will be at 7 p.m. in the rotunda of the Rhode Island Convention Center.

The recipients will each receive an engraved crystal bowl and their names will be permanently inscribed in a plaque in Providence City Hall.
