Join Fuller Seminary for three days of reflection on the legacy of Dr. King and the arts to uplift the community and release liberative expression.
In addition to commemorating the life and work of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Pannell Center’s 2024 MLKJ Celebration will examine and celebrate the role of the arts in our continuing struggle for complete liberation. Dr. King showed us, through the art forms of speeches and letters, the power of creativity to engage imaginations for the sake of justice.
