Celebrating the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: Fellowship, Inspiration, and Community

KENNETT SQUARE, PA, UNITED STATES, December 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On Monday, January 20, 2025, the MLKCommUNITYT of Greater Kennett Area will present a day of reflection, inspiration, and community honoring the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at Lincoln University of Pennsylvania. This commemorative event brings together a diverse audience of public officials, clergy, students, and community members from Southern Chester County and beyond.

The 2025 theme, "We STILL Have a Dream!" reminds of Dr. King’s enduring vision and calls us to action in creating a "Beloved Community."

Schedule of Events
Annual Fellowship Brunch: The day will begin with our Annual Fellowship Brunch, where attendees can reconnect with old friends and meet new ones over a sumptuous meal. The program will include choir performances inspired by the civil rights movement, poignant readings from Dr. King’s sermons and letters, and a keynote address by distinguished historian Dr. Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham.

Dr. Higginbotham, a tenured professor at Harvard University, has devoted her career to African American history and religion and currently serves as National President of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. Her insights promise to inspire and enlighten attendees about the continuing relevance of Dr. King’s message.

Volunteer Fair and Exhibitions: Following the brunch, guests are invited to the "Be A King" Volunteer Fair, where community and nonprofit organizations will showcase opportunities to serve and uplift others in the area.
