My Freedom. My Resistance. Our America.Join us for a powerful night of truth-telling, celebration, and collective action as we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and uplift the modern-day freedom fighters carrying his mission forward.
This year’s theme speaks to the moment we’re in:
Our freedom is an act of resistance.
For more than 400 years, we have survived, created, prayed, organized, and built this nation with our hands and too often with our tears. The struggles of our ancestors are not ancient history; their bones, blood, and DNA are in the soil. Their legacy has made us the conscience of this country. And we pledge as they did: “I too, am America.”
At this year’s event, we will:
- Celebrate our 2026 nominees, faith leaders, changemakers, and organizations fighting for justice and dignity every single day.
- Reveal this year’s award winners live on stage.
- Hear stories, testimonies, and calls to action rooted in liberation.
- Stand together as a people committed to building a more just Michigan and a more democratic America.
