Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Honoring Legacy and Impact
Atlanta Metro
Atlanta
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed on the third Monday of January each year, celebrating the achievements of African-Americans throughout history as an important part of American history. From a day of service to lectures, exhibits, concerts, and art, there are a number of ways to observe MLK Day in Atlanta. Begin with honoring Dr. King’s legacy, visiting historic landmarks, and celebrating the lives and efforts of many Atlantans and civil rights icons that influenced our country’s progression.
As the heart of the civil rights movement, Atlanta’s history, heritage, and role in the civil rights movement gives visitors and Atlantans a number of places to celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday throughout the city and much further beyond the beginning of the year.
