acts of strength and courage to confront hatred, extremism and
terrorism, interweaving music and words to tell their stories. Close
to two thousand Washington leaders attend the Concert, joining us to
recognize these heroes and stand together against intolerance and
injustice. This year's Concert will be narrated by members of the cast
of The Wire, HBO's acclaimed television series. The Chairs for the
2007 Concert are Ted and Annette Lerner.

military. Mr. Sayles and his children and grandchildren will be
attending.

* Prof. Liviu Librescu, who gave his life to protect his students
during the attacks at Virginia Tech on April 16. Prof. Librescu's
