63rd Anniversary of the March on Washington Event with Martin Luther King III

Expect a reflective community program centered on the legacy of the March on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Attendees will read portions of the speech, consider the ongoing fight for civil rights, and recognize progress toward a more inclusive future in a setting connected to Omaha’s African American history.

Held at the Great Plains Black History Museum, the event offers a meaningful way to connect national civil rights history with local remembrance in Omaha. Martin Luther King III’s presence adds a direct family connection to the legacy being honored, while the program invites participants to engage with the words and questions that continue to shape public life.
