This year the museum resumes its in-person celebration while observing safety protocols. It also continues the tradition of an MLK Day of service by encouraging guests to bring nonperishable food items to support the Mid-South Food Bank and to be prepared to give blood to support the Vitalant blood drive. Both organizations experienced critical shortages during the pandemic.
With a "Double-V" approach to overcoming voter apathy and vaccine hesitancy, the museum will collaborate with organizations to offer voter education, empowerment, and registration as well as Covid vaccines and testing on-site. There will be outdoor entertainment and activities for children.
