Reading of Dr. King’s
Letter from a Birmingham Jail
Public action on January 20, 2025
As we inaugurate a new president, Dr. King’s letter serves as our call to unity, love and action—a call as relevant and powerful today as it was 62 years ago.
Join us for an action of public witness on Martin Luther King Jr. Day— which is also Inauguration Day. Gather together to hear representatives from diverse organizations, faiths and communities in our county read aloud Dr. King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail.
Monday, January 20
