On Monday January 18th, we observe Martin Luther
King, Jr. Day. On Wednesday January 20th,
we shall witness the inauguration of the 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden. Below are a number of ideas and invitations you can take part in locally to honor the legacy of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and/or to commemorate the Biden-Harris victory, at the request of the new administration.
We thank the Democratic National Committee and the event hosts for creating this list of opportunities.
