“Marching for the purpose of commemorating and celebrating the work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” is  main purpose of the New Braunfels MLK Association, Inc.  

Join us at 10 AM on January 21st at Prince Solms Park at South Liberty & San Antonio Street. We will march to the Plaza for short speeches of welcome and then proceed down  W. San Antonio Street to Castell Ave and then march to the Civic Center.

At 11 AM our ceremony will begin:  One of our supporters will re-enact Dr. King giving one of his speeches. Yesenia McNett, the Resurrection Baptist Church  Men’s  Choir and the V&P UTSA’s Gospel Choir will thrill us with their musical tributes to Dr. King and his legacy.

What better way than to have your children and students participate in an event commemorating  the work and legacy of Dr. King and other civil rights leaders  who advanced  equality and justice for all through actions of non-violence.
