Martin Luther King Jr. Day honors the life and legacy of the civil rights leader who promoted equality and justice through nonviolent activism.
The annual MLK Day observance in San Antonio continues a national tradition that began in 1986, when the federal holiday was first established to commemorate King’s birthday on Jan. 15.
The march and celebration provide an opportunity for residents to participate in honoring King’s enduring impact on civil rights and social justice.
