(Kansas City, MO – January 04, 2023) – Former students, community leaders, friends, family and special guests will join in celebrating the long life and legacy of master educator Mrs. Erma L. Williams during a star-studded tribute concert on October 22 at the Kansas City Music Hall. Mrs. Williams, who passed last year, was a founding director of the Paseo Baptist Learning Center and led it for nearly four decades. The Center enabled generations of pre-school children to enter elementary school with strong academic skills and sound Christian values. Proceeds from the tribute concert will benefit the Center, recently renamed the Erma L. Williams Learning Center.
Three-time Grammy-nominated and ten-time Stellar Award-winning gospel artist Anthony Brown and Group Therapy will be the special musical guests paying tribute to the life and legacy of Mrs. Williams along with alumni students from the Paseo Baptist Learning Center and other dignitaries. Christel Bell, anchor of Kansas City’s local Fox News, will serve as the evening’s host.
“Our family is uplifted daily by how many students our mother inspired during her lifelong service to church and community,” said her daughter Ermette Williams. “We’re pleased her legacy of learning will continue through the Erma L. Williams Learning Center and the loving support of so many here in Kansas City and thousands of her former students.”
