In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s enduring vision, we invite you to “IAAM KING: An MLK Day Celebration” on Monday, January 19.
This marks the final program of IAAM’s “The Renewal Series,” a journey of growth and reflection at the museum. After the YWCA’s annual MLK Day Parade, join us for an afternoon of complimentary FREE admission, youth-centered activities, and family-friendly experiences that reflect Dr. King’s vision of justice, equality, and community.
We invite you to engage with:
🧶Family Freedom Quilt: Design a square on community and freedom.
✊🏿Intro to Genealogy: Start your ancestry journey with our Center for Family History staff.
🎥Recording the Dream: Share your story in our living archive Story Booth.
⛓️Threads of Justice: Create a custom keychain inspired by MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail.
Capacity is limited and walk-ups are first-come, first-served! We highly recommend reserving your tickets.
