The 2026 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration at Centre College is a collaborative and community-centered event that honors the life, leadership, and enduring influence of Dr. King. This year’s program brings together the Centre campus, the City of Danville, Boyle County schools, faith communities, and local organizations for a unified day of reflection, learning, and inspiration. The celebration will feature keynote speaker Leon T. Williams, whose powerful storytelling and message of hope challenge audiences to confront injustice, pursue reconciliation, and imagine a world rooted in equity and humanity. Framed by the theme Mission Possible 2, this event invites all participants to consider what is possible when we engage across communities, center courage, and commit to collective action. The day includes an opening gathering in Newlin Hall, interactive engagements, collaborative learning sessions, and shared moments of dialogue designed to deepen understanding and inspire personal and communal transformation. This event is free and open to the public, ensuring broad access for all members of the Centre, Danville, and Boyle County communities.
