Our MLK Day program this year will be held virtually and introduced by Dr. Reginald Richardson, President of Salem-Keizer NAACP with Keynote speaker, Dr. Irvin Brown, Education Committee Chair of Salem-Keizer NAACP.

This year's theme is the Urgency of Creating the Beloved Community. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. first introduced the concept during his 1957 Birth Of A Nation speech. The beloved community is a community in which everyone is cared for absent of poverty, hunger, and hate.
