26th Annual Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Youth Rally
Every year, youth from Lincoln and surrounding areas partcipate in the annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Youth Rally and March. In its 26th year, it will be held virtually so everyone can participate safely.
The youth rally and march is organized by a diverse group of area youth and is held in conjunction with the national recognition of the birthday of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. All components are intended to celebrate his legacy and the mission of the planning committee: "…promotion of the life and dream of the late Rev. Dr. King, Jr. through positive youth action in the community."
"Our rally this year will share things it will take for us to stay the course for needed change that so many before us (kids and adults across the world) took. It's important that we take steps right now and our need to relate to the need now more than ever to 'Walk Together' toward the goals of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Dr. Leola Bullock," said planning committee member Kylin Trout, a student at Lefler Middle School.
All aspects of the 2021 experience will be virtual and streamed via various platforms, thanks to the City of Lincoln's generosity.
