Join us for this year’s MLK Jr. Day Celebration, A Dream Rooted in Faith: The Legacy of the Black Church in Detroit During the Civil Rights Movement. Throughout the day, families can enjoy hands-on arts and crafts activities inspired by themes of community, justice, and faith. The program will also feature an engaging presentation on Dr. King’s name change and his influential spiritual leadership at Ebenezer Baptist Church, offering deeper insight into the foundations of his work. We’ll close the celebration with the Detroit Historical Society’s annual tradition of singing Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” in honor of Dr. King and sharing mini cupcakes with attendees. Join us as we reflect, create, and celebrate Dr. King’s enduring legacy.
