37th Annual MLK Breakfast, featuring Ijeoma Oluo

Monday, January 20, 2025, registration begins at 7 a.m.

Location: Ville Courts,  Student Memorial Center at Millersville University, 113 Shenks Lane, Millersville, PA 17551

On Monday, January 20, 2025, to celebrate the 37th annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast, we will welcome acclaimed author and activist Ijeoma Oluo to share her thoughts on Dr. King’s enduring impact and the continued fight for equity and justice. As we gather to honor Dr. King’s legacy, we will take time to reflect on the progress still needed to achieve the ideals he preached.

Our theme this year, Unity in Diversity: Our Single Garment of Destiny, draws inspiration from Dr. King’s Nobel Prize lecture. Recognizing that this year’s breakfast falls on Inauguration Day, the theme of unity feels particularly urgent as we reflect on the divisions facing our nation. It serves as a poignant reminder that our collective strength lies in our diversity, and our diverse backgrounds and experiences are a gift that when seen, recognized, and celebrated can propel our community forward.

MLK Breakfast will feature vibrant performances, inspiring youth writing, and the presentation of the Essence of Humanity, Ruby Payne Cook, and Crispus Attucks Legacy awards, along with time for community connection and fellowship. We hope you’ll join us!
