2025 MLK Celebrations

Join us as we celebrate the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

This year's theme is "Where do we go from here: Chaos or Community?"

The 2025 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration theme is penned from the last book he published prior to his assassination. Under the backdrop of monumental change in America after new laws such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. believed the next phase of the movement would bring its challenges. This book inspires thought and hope in on advancing the movement, from continued interracial coalitions to faith, economic justice, nonviolent action and the ballot.

As Baldwin Wallace is centered in its own challenges of what the next steps of social action will be, and our nation navigates the aftermath of a contentious election cycle and global unrest, the tenets of Dr. King’s work ring more now than ever before. In what ways will we rise to the challenge of finding new ways to build even when we don’t feel like building? How do we advance community and justice when the structures that support community have been dismantled? Come join the committee as we challenge you to consider your role in answering, “Where do we go from here?”
