The King Holiday
Signed into law in January 1983 by President Ronald Reagan, the national Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday is a celebration of Dr. King’s immeasurable contribution to the United States, and to humankind.
“The Urgency of Creating the Beloved Community!”
Each year, The King Center in Atlanta leads the nationwide observance of the national holiday commemorating the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The theme and call to action, for the 2021 Observance is “The Urgency of Creating the Beloved Community!”
The King Center, like the rest of the world, has had to switch the way it does business. This includes pivoting to virtual events and reimagining The Salute to Greatness Awards Gala as the Beloved Community Awards. Please take a moment to review the attached 2021 King Holiday Observance sponsorship opportunities and make your commitment today! Together, with your support, we can continue to educate the world about the importance of embracing nonviolence as a lifestyle, while moving ever closer to creating the Beloved Community.
