Dear Friends

 

​Thank you for your generosity and continued support for the annual Dr. Martin Luther King

celebration.

​

Every January, thousands of people with diverse backgrounds march from West Third Street to downtown Dayton to honor the memory and advance the progress of clergyman, African American civil rights activist, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

 

The month-long celebration features events such as an interfaith worship service, Emancipation Proclamation, youth celebration, workshop, musical, march, and banquet.

 

“America Tell the Truth” Is the theme for this year's event. In alignment with this powerful message, the evening banquet will feature a keynote address, and we are currently seeking a distinguished speaker to deliver an inspiring call to truth and unity.

 

While great progress has been made in the Dayton area and across the country, there is still much to do for civil and human rights. MLK Dayton, Inc. is committed to making Dr. King's dream a reality. We ask that you join us in creating celebrations and change in our community.
