LET FREEDOM RING: THROUGH SOICAL JUSTICE, ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT, LOVE, PEACE, AND UNITY.
"Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
On behalf of the entire Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Commission we would like to welcome you and invite you to join us for our Upcoming Commemoration. In 2020 we will observe our 38th Annual King Week Celebration. Our 2019 theme, LET FREEDOM RING: THROUGH SOCIAL JUSTICE, ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT, LOVE, PEACE, AND UNITY, is attributed to the Dream and the Dreamer who affirmed, “Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality".
Since 1982, the MLK Commission has been organizing a special celebration each year for the Knoxville area to commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The weeklong celebration focuses on providing education and leadership training for adults and youth and promotes reconciliation through peaceful conflict resolution. Part of the celebration also includes stories of racial struggles with emphasis on non-violence, equality, and love.
