About this Event

As part of the City of Aurora's 41st Annual MLK Ceremony, three workshops centered on Dr. King's legacy and philosophy will take place from 1 P.M. to 4 P.M. on Monday, January 19, at East Aurora High School.

Workshop 1 - The Liberation Gallery

Art is a weapon for justice. In this workshop, a collaborative build-out will take place, where a community art piece will be created and dedicated to Dr. King's radical vision. The work will be featuring in the "Liberation Gallery" during the main ceremony.


Workshop 2 - A Radical Love: How Faith Fueled the Activism of Martin Luther King Jr.

In this workshop, students will explore how Dr. King’s religious beliefs moved him to demonstrate radical love through liberative social action. Participants will reflect and dialogue about perspectives on the relationship between faith, love, and social activism.


Workshop 3 - Reclaiming the Radical MLK (Anti-War & Anti-Militarism)

India Williams leads a critical session on the Black radical peace tradition and the fight against global militarism. It’s time to reclaim the anti-war King and fight for People-Centered Human Rights.
