DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
MEMORIAL FOUNDATION, INC.
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
|
 The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial Foundation, Incorporated, was established on January 30, 1989, to honor the memory and legacy of one of the most revered men of the 20th century. In order to promote and further Dr. King's philosophy of non-violent activism, we will coordinate annually, on the weekend of the federal observance of his birthday, a host of activities, including a city-wide parade. Additionally, we will undertake special projects during the year that are reflective of the works of Dr. King. Among those projects are Scholarship Awards, Community Workshops, and other topics of community interest. The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial Foundation, Inc., considers itself to be a non-partisan, independent entity whose sole intent is, in the words of Dr. King, "…to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked…. and just try to love somebody."

"Non-violence or Non-existence" |
Please
be advised that the MLK
Holiday Celebration
will take place on Monday, January 19, 2009,
rather than the previously
communicated date of Saturday,
January 17, 2009. Our poll of
preferred dates for the parade
went overwhelmingly for
Saturday, January 17, 2009;
however, after much
consternation, it was decided
that not to have the
celebration on the national
observance of Dr. King's
birthday would be, to say the
least, inappropriate.
