Celebrate the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Join us for a special event at the David B. Waymer Recreation Center on Monday, Jan. 19, 2026, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Beginning promptly at 3 p.m. the program will feature light refreshments and a mobile museum of displays to explore. Guests will enjoy local speakers and performers to commemorate Dr. King’s legacy at 4 p.m.
This year's display provided by Thankful Heritage Museum will consist of approximately 400 African American artifacts and civil rights era memorabilia; specifically, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr content consisting of newspapers, magazines, books, pens, plaques, albums and biographies.
This event is expected to be a cross-generational experience. For elders, it will offer a nostalgic walk through history. For younger visitors, it presents a meaningful opportunity to connect with the stories their parents, grandparents, and educators have shared.
Come celebrate, learn, and reflect on the rich heritage and ongoing impact of the Civil Rights Movement. This is a unique chance to engage with history and honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We look forward to seeing you there!
