On Monday, January 18, 2021, the nation celebrates Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his social and spiritual accomplishments for civil rights in the United States.
Traditionally, the City hosts its Annual Tribute to Dr. King the Saturday before the holiday, however, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting gathering restrictions, this will be the first time in thirty years that an in-person tribute will not be held.
The City commemorates Dr. King’s legacy with this year’s theme, “Standing Together” – standing together in the fight for social justice and standing together although we are physically apart due to the pandemic.
Signage is placed throughout the City at City parks and other locations as well as a banner displayed at Duvall Field to commemorate his legacy. Signs can also be seen on the City’s social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).
While this past year has been difficult for many, we as a community will continue to strive together to achieve many of Dr. King’s visions.
Join the City in recognizing the social and spiritual accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with our 30th Annual College Park Tribute that will carry forward the spirit and feeling of hopefulness and strengthen the promise of new beginnings.
