MLK Day is a great opportunity to dig into our Eighth Principle and think about what it means to you by finding activities to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. Activities are available to suit your interests and capabilities. Connect with other UUCers in the process.

Seattle MLK Coalition: Workshops, Rally, and March (Garfield High)

9:15–10:30 a.m. Workshops

It’s one thing to march, but it is another to learn more about why we march. What skills do we need to live into Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of Beloved Community? The Coalition is offering 26 workshops—something for everyone.

11 a.m.: Rally Need inspiration? This rally is an excellent opportunity!

12:30 p.m. March. Since 1983 UUC members who want to honor Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy (as well as our church’s legacy in fighting for racial justice) have marched together as a UUC contingent in the Seattle MLK Coalition's March from Garfield High School through parts of Seattle. It's a joyous and inspiring event. Meet on the upper terrace above the flag poles at Garfield High by 12:30 p.m. If you have Side With Love clothing, wear it proudly!



Other Events

Prayer Breakfast: "If My People.." (Title comes from 2 Chronicles 7:14.) The MLK Prayer Breakfast at the Westin Grand Ballroom, 1900 5th Avenue, 7–8:30 a.m. on MLK Day, now in its 13^th year, is an opportunity to ask “How may we productively connect across interracial interfaith lines with Christian communities to honor King’s legacy?” Join UUC members attending the breakfast by asking to be seated with Jewels Mellen. Advance registration strongly advised.

We look forward to seeing many of you at one or more of these events!
