The NAACP Henry County Branch invites the community to join in honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the 2026 MLK Weekend Celebration. This year’s theme — “Mission Possible II: Building Community, Uniting a Nation the Nonviolent Way” — calls everyone to continue Dr. King’s mission through unity, service, and peace.
The weekend begins with the MLK Prayer Breakfast on Saturday, January 17, 2026, from 9:00 AM–11:00 AM at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. Guests will enjoy a morning of reflection, fellowship, and music. Registration is $10 per person.
The celebration continues with the MLK Peace March & Parade on Monday, January 19, 2026, at the Henry County Performing Arts Center. Lineup starts at 9:00 AM, with the parade kicking off at 10:00 AM. Immediately following, the Community Youth Program will feature youth-led reflections, performances, and a special skit inspired by this year’s theme.
All attendees are encouraged to bring canned goods to both events to help replenish local Henry County food banks.
