"The Lantern Keepers: Preserving the Flame of Justice"
We cordially invite you to join us for the 2026 Delaware County Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. This event promises to be an unforgettable blend of commemoration, introspection, fun, and love in action.
Pastor Alvin Asiamah of Soul Restoration Ministry will provide the opening prayer. Sierra Austin-King, Ph.D., an assistant professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies and Black Studies at The Ohio State University and an Ohio Prison Educational Exchange Program faculty member, will serve as the keynote speaker. Professional vocalist, actress, and educator Chrissy T will be the featured performer.
The 2026 celebration also will feature a "wax museum" in Hamilton-Williams Campus Center with students portraying historical figures. As always, the MLK Celebration will raise funds to provide scholarships to local students.
