The Martin Luther King Celebration Committee held the 28th annual region-wide Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration on Monday, January 18, 2010 with workshops (9:30am-11am), Rally (11am), and March (12pm). This year over 3,000 marched from Garfield High School to the Federal Building.  Immediately after the March nearly a thousand were served refreshments at Garfield's lunch room!

Please join the MLK Celebration Committee next year to plan the 2011 event. Meetings will begin in late October 2010.

Seattle has one of the largest annual Martin Luther King Day Celebrations in the U.S. We honor  Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., for his work toward racial equality and economic justice for all people, for his commitment to nonviolence, and for his stand against war and militarism.

"The problem of racism, the problem of economic exploitation, and the problem of war are all tied together. These are the triple evils that are interrelated."
