SUMMARY:Martin Luther King Jr. Parade
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate our history as Dublin GA commemorates Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. in the 31st Annual Martin Luther King\, Jr. Parade on Saturday\, January 16th at 11 AM in Downtown Dublin GA. With over 175 entries during past parades\, Dublin’s Martin Luther King\, Jr. Parade has historically been the second largest in Georgia! \nBe Part Of History\nMake history with your own float as the parade marches down Telfair Street through Downtown Dublin to the Bellevue historic district. \nThe theme for this year’s parade is: “Be Love. Heal Humanity. Honor Truth. Prioritize Justice. Practice Nonviolence365”.  \nIn honor of Dr. King’s legacy of service through his philosophy of nonviolence\, and service to humanity\, all group leaders are encouraged to emphasize the importance of your members and their families coming out and viewing the Martin Luther King\, Jr. Parade on January 16th\, 2027\, one positive method of helping to keep Dr. King’s legacy alive. \nFor more information\, call Royce J.

A 15 year old student from Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta delivered a speech entitled “The Negro and the Constitution.” Little did the audience realize\, they were witnessing the first public speech by Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. and the start of the Civil Rights Movement. \nBe a part of history participating in the annual Oratorical Speech Contest.
