About Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and work remind us that while challenges are inevitable, the power of collective action can turn seemingly impossible missions into achievable goals. His commitment to nonviolent change, social justice, and community service continues to inspire us all to take action for a better world. This year's theme "Mission Possible" encourages us to honor his dream by working together to build a more inclusive, compassionate society.

We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate Dr. King's vision and put his call to action into practice!
