Celebrating MLK

MLK Dayton Inc. continues its celebration of the vision of social justice created by the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This year’s theme, “Forgiveness,” encapsulates the vision of this year’s MLK Dayton Inc. events and activities, as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a clergyman, activist and prominent leader of the Civil Rights Movement.
