The Martin Luther King National Holiday Program is held at Mt. Zion AME Church, Queen and Fulton Streets, Dover Delaware on the third Monday in January, each year at NOON. The program is regularly attended by high ranking government and community leaders, politicians and an overflow crowd of attendees. National office holders, civil rights leaders and community supporters also attend this well planned event. A special portion of the program is performed by community youth and is entitled “A Tribute To Martin.” The commemorative speakers come from a list of well known national and regional personalities. A public reception, open to all, follows the program.

While honoring the birthday and works of Dr. Martin Luther King, the celebration of this holiday, with a title REMEMBER! ACT! CELEBRATE! A DAY ON-NOT A DAY OFF, also serves to remind all citizens that the “Struggle Continues” to insure equality of opportunity for all people worldwide.
