Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., this event celebrates his legacy of social justice, civil rights, and human dignity. The commemoration promotes the goal of building peaceful communities with non-violence as a means to defeat injustice. This year, we highlight 'From the Mountaintop: A Vision for Justice' based on MLK's final speech, 'I've Been to the Mountaintop.'

"The question is not, "If I stop to help this man in need, what will happen to me?" The question is, "If I do not stop to help ... , what will happen to them?" That's the question."
