Interfaith Commemoration and Awards Ceremony In-Person
Location: Bodek Lounge
The MLK Interfaith Commemoration Program reflects on the religious themes of the civil rights movement, especially as embodied in the life and ministry of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. With words, song, and the presentation of the MLK Community Involvement Recognition Awards, the annual Interfaith Program emphasizes common humanity and acknowledges individuals whose local engagement and active service exemplifies Dr. King’s vision. This year’s program will feature guest speaker Reverend Carl Day.
