The City of Glen Cove will commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. on Jan. 20 with programming and events under this year’s theme, “We Are Stronger Together.”
The event begins at 8:45 a.m. with a march. The march will begin in front of the First Baptist Church in Glen Cove and lead to Finley Middle School, where a commemorative program will commence at 9:15 a.m. The program will feature inspiring speeches, performances, and reflections celebrating King’s message of unity and justice.
The city said attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate to NOSH, a local food pantry and delivery service.
“Dr. King’s legacy reminds us that our strength lies in unity. By coming together as a community, we honor his vision and continue the work of creating a just and inclusive society,” said Mayor Pamela Panzenbeck in a release.
The city thanks Sheryl Goodine, the director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Commission, and community volunteers for their work on this program.
