INDIANA — The Indiana Civil Rights Commission, alongside The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Indiana Holiday Commission, Indiana Black Expo, Inc., and AFSCME Local #725, invites the public to join in celebrating the remarkable legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
On January 16, 2025, at 6 p.m., gather at the Indiana War Memorial: Soldiers and Sailors Monument for a tribute featuring a wreath-laying ceremony and a commemorative light show.
Then, on January 17 at noon, celebrate at the Indiana Statehouse for an awards ceremony honoring outstanding Hoosiers committed to civil rights. This year’s theme echoes Dr. King’s call for unity: “We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”
Both events are free and open to the public. The Indiana Statehouse awards eventrequires an RSVP on Eventbrite .com (search for 34th Annual Indiana Statehouse MLK Jr. celebration).
