PRESS RELEASE
On behalf of the entire Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Commission we would like to THANK YOU for participating in our 41st Annual King Week Celebration. Our 2023 theme, MOVING ON TOWARDS FREEDOM, JUSTICE, AND EQUALITY, was attributed to the Dream and the Dreamer who affirmed, "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. And Justice is really love in calculation. Justice is love correcting that which revolts against love."
Since 1982, the MLK Commission has been organizing a special celebration each year for the Knoxville area to commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The weeklong celebration focuses on providing education and leadership training for adults and youth and promotes reconciliation through peaceful conflict resolution. Part of the celebration also includes stories of racial struggles with emphasis on non-violence, equality, and love.
