Events

When the idea of the memorial was first conceived, the founders dreamt of it being more than a monument, but a magnet for folks from all walks of life. Over the years, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial has hosted events ranging from candlelight vigils to conferences.

Check out our upcoming event schedule:
