A Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend Celebration

Featuring Alvin Shelby

Explore the rich tapestry of history and resilience in Mississippi, a state deeply intertwined with the pivotal moments of the civil rights movement. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s indomitable leadership left an indelible mark on Mississippi, where the battle for equality and justice raged fiercely. From the courageous Freedom Rides to the empowering voter registration drives, Mississippi served as a vital battleground for King's vision of a more inclusive society. Through King's unwavering perseverance and message of peace, Mississippians found the strength to stand up against oppression and discrimination. Join us as we honor this legacy and celebrate the enduring spirit of hope and progress that defines Mississippi's storied past.
