Seattle Parks and Recreation invites the public to join a youth-organized march to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Saturday, Jan. 16. Participants will gather at Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Park and march to Rainier Community Center.
This is Seattle Parks and Recreation’s Teen Program’s 11th annual youth march. Teens from throughout the city will speak out against injustice via a peaceful demonstration. The goal for the march is to celebrate the contributions Seattle youth make in creating a better city and to honor the work that youth do to keep Dr. King’s dream alive every day.
A keynote speaker will talk at 1 p.m. and educational workshops will follow at 1:30 p.m. Dinner and giveaways will take place from 3-4 p.m.
The event is free of cost to all teens and community participants and will include food, live music, a safe environment and plenty of fun!
