WELCOME to the
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Commission
On behalf of the entire Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Commission we would like to THANK YOU for participating in our 42nd Annual King Week Celebration. Our 2024 theme, KEEPING THE LEGACY ALIVE WITH FAITH, LOVE, AND ACTION was attributed to the Dream and the Dreamer who affirmed, “We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.”
Since 1982, the MLK Commission has been organizing a special celebration each year for the Knoxville area to commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The weeklong celebration focuses on providing education and leadership training for adults and youth and promotes reconciliation through peaceful conflict resolution. Part of the celebration also includes stories of racial struggles with an emphasis on non-violence, equality, and love.
We invite you to join us in 2024 as we Celebrate and Commemorate. We look forward to seeing you. Feel free to Contact Us if we can provide additional assistance or information. Thank you.
