MLK DAY OF CELEBRATION

The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commission of Mid-Michigan is proud to present the 40th annual Day of Celebration, the nation’s largest MLK Day luncheon and a signature tribute to Dr. King’s enduring legacy. As the nation’s longest-running, continuously operating MLK commission, the organization has spent decades uniting communities to honor Dr. King’s vision of equality, justice, and hope.

This year’s landmark event will feature Dr. Bernard LaFayette Jr. as the keynote speaker. A trailblazer of the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. LaFayette co-founded the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and played pivotal roles in transformative campaigns such as the Freedom Rides and the Selma Voting Rights Movement. His lifelong commitment to nonviolent activism has made an indelible impact on the fight for civil rights in America.

Join us for an inspiring celebration of Dr. King’s legacy and the power of community.
