Montgomery Martin Luther King Celebration

Schedule of Events

12:00 PM-1:00 PM: Martin Luther King Day of Service

The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is a defining moment each year when Montgomerians step up to make our communities more equitable and take action to build the Beloved Community of Dr. King’s dream. While Dr. King believed the Beloved Community was possible, he acknowledged and fought for systemic change. His example is our call to action.

Making time to volunteer for MLK Day of Service is a great way to engage with your community while honoring the legacy of Dr. King. Whether you plan on cleaning up a public space, mentoring a young person, or assisting those who are food insecure, what you do makes a world of difference.
