Historic St. Mathew’s-St. Joseph’s Episcopal
8850 Woodward Avenue, Detroit
On Monday, January 20, 2025, the Detroit MLK Day Program/Rally and March will commemorate the 96th birthday of Dr. King. This year’s program will feature speakers and cultural workers from the Detroit area to emphasize the decades-long struggle for civil rights, self-determination and social justice locally, nationally and internationally. The event is being held under the theme: “Six Decades of Mass Movements: The Struggle Continues.” Detroit has been at the center of the popular movements for labor, civil rights, political empowerment and self-determination extending back to the 19th century to the present.
Join JVP Detroit at the 22nd Annual Detroit MLK Day at the Historic St. Mathew’s-St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church located at 8850 Woodward Avenue between King and Holbrook in the city’s North End neighborhood. This venue, which is a historic institution in Detroit,played an integral part in the 19th century Underground Railroad and the Northern High School Student Strike of April 1966, among other important events. It will place us in the heart of the city in a community where gentrification, water shutoffs and tax foreclosures continue to take a serious toll.
The program begins at 12 noon in the sanctuary and will include music and brief messages from cultural workers and activists from throughout the region, including Detroit Justice Center’s Nancy Parker, PYM, LaShawn English(UAW Region 1 Director), Russ Bellant, Cecily McClellan, Wanda Olugbala, and others.
At about 1:30 pm, the Detroit MLK Day March for Jobs, Peace and Justice will begin. At 2:30 pm a community meal will be served in the church basement. The meal is prepared by the Detroit Wobbly Kitchen and through donations from local merchants. |
