25th Annual MLK Celebration Welcome Address

Join founding members of the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Legacy of Social and Environmental Justice in a roundtable discussion as they welcome the community to this year’s virtual festival. Visionaries from the Yale Peabody Museum and the CT Department of Energy and the Environment will offer a brief history of the event and kick things off with a discussion focused on climate justice, racial equity, arts in movement building, and Afrofuturism. 

Yale Schwarzman Center is pleased to be a partner in The Yale Peabody Museum’s 25th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Legacy of Environmental and Social Justice, reimagined and transformed this year into a  digital festival experience . The museum will be hosting a series of free, online programs with opportunities to engage in critical dialogue and enjoy storytelling, music, dance, and spoken word performances, generously sponsored by Citizens™.
