On Monday, January 15th, one of America's greatest civil rights leaders of all time is remembered across the country: Martin Luther King, Jr. Austin takes the celebration very seriously and hosts the Martin Luther King March and Festival in honor of the late reverend and activist. The march begins at 9 a.m. on January 15th at the MLK Statue at the University of Texas.
Come congregate at the statue for a program in remembrance of Martin Luther King, and then march toward the State Capitol as an act of honoring the many marches that MLK led himself. Once everybody arrives at the capitol, enjoy live music, food, and vendors at the community festival until 3 p.m. Bring along a canned good or non-perishable food item to donate to the Texas Food Bank, helping those in need as part of MLK's legacy.
