Honoring the Legacy: MLK Day 2025

As we approach Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2025, we take time to honor the profound legacy of Dr. King—a leader who dedicated his life to justice, equality, and community empowerment. This day is not only a moment to reflect on his powerful vision for a more inclusive and equitable society but also an opportunity to transform those reflections into meaningful action.

The AAA ERG is proud to celebrate MLK Day by hosting and promoting events that align with Dr. King’s values of service, unity, and progress. We invite you to join us in participating in a day of service and engagement to uplift our communities and continue the work that Dr. King so passionately championed.

Below, you’ll find a list of events and opportunities to get involved, whether through volunteering, attending educational workshops, or contributing to initiatives that foster positive change. Together, let’s honor Dr. King’s dream by making a tangible difference in the lives of others.

A list of activities and events are highlighted below to make this day one of action, connection, and impact!
