Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Observance, Volunteer Fair, and Luminary Lighting

This year’s theme, “Upholding Dr. King’s Legacy in Challenging Times,” holds special significance as we gather to reaffirm our shared commitment to racial equity and inclusion at a time when these values are facing serious challenges. This year’s event will feature two keynote speakers: Dr. Saladin Ambar, senior scholar at Eagleton’s Center on the American Governor and political science professor at Rutgers, and SOMA resident Ibi Zoboi, New York Times bestselling author and editor of Black Enough: Stories of Being Young and Black in America. The program will include interfaith readings, music, dance, and a call to honor Dr. King’s vision of service and unity followed by a reception and Volunteer Fair to explore community-building opportunities.
