King Legacy Celebration -- Monday, 1/18/21 9 am EST

The 2021 King Legacy Celebration theme is Justice Moving Forward. Racial tensions have escalated in the midst of a pandemic, revealing the unfinished work in achieving justice and inclusive freedom. The King Legacy Celebration will feature a keynote from news personality and Tulsa, Oklahoma native DeMarco Morgan. Tulsa was the site of one of the nation’s worst incidents of racial violence when, in 1921, mobs killed dozens of Black residents and destroyed more than 35 square blocks of Black homes and businesses. Morgan will provide a distinct perspective on the continued struggle for justice a century after the Tulsa massacre.
