“What Are You Doing for Others?” on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 

Here are some resources for service activities in Boston celebrating MLK Day (click on links)

• Boston Cares 18th Annual MLK Service Event

• Boston USA – MLK Day

Boston is a special place to celebrate Dr. King’s life and legacy. King considered Boston his second home, the city where he met his wife Coretta Scott King and where he earned his Ph.D. in Theology from Boston University while living on Mass Ave.   Roxbury is where Dr. King was an assistant minister at the Twelfth Baptist Church, it is the specific neighborhood where he and Coretta met, and also where he began an historic Boston march in 1965, a procession that culminated on Boston Common where Dr. King delivered an inspiring and iconic speech.  The Roxbury Love Story mural by local artists @problak and @gofive was unveiled in the fall of 2020.

New for MLK Day 2023:  Mark your calendar for the Embrace Unveiling on January 13, 2023!

Designed by Hank Willis Thomas, an internationally acclaimed African American conceptual artist, the memorial commemorates the legacies of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Coretta Scott King, and the many civil rights leaders who worked alongside them in Boston.

*Please Note:  Religious education classes will not be held on this Sunday or Monday (January 15/16) in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
