The Arlington Coalition of Black Clergy cordially invites you to a special event honoring the life, legacy, and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for a community celebration on Sunday, February 16 at 4 PM at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, (1601 13th Road South, Arlington). This year’s program promises to be a day of enlightenment, inspiration, and fellowship as we reflect on the dream of building a Beloved Community.
Mrs. Willie Pearl Mackey King will be the featured speaker. Mrs. King is an extraordinary figure who played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement. She had the distinct honor of typing the historic Letter from Birmingham Jail for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and served as an administrator at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) during his leadership. Her firsthand accounts and experiences will provide invaluable insights that inspire and empower us for 2025. Dr. King once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'” This event will not only honor his legacy but also inspire us all to carry his vision forward into our communities.
We encourage you to plan now to be present for this impactful event and to share this invitation with others. Let us join together as community leaders to reflect, learn, and be empowered to continue the work of building a Beloved Community. We look forward to welcoming you to this meaningful celebration.
