Each year, a variety of educational, inspirational and celebratory events honor one of the nation's
most revered civil rights leaders. The signature event, the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. March, is
scheduled for Monday, January 18, 2010. The march will begin at 10 a.m. at the MLK Freedom Bridge
located at 3500 MLK Drive and end at Pittman-Sullivan Park, 1101 Iowa (click this link for march route and info).
Once again, it is expected to draw more than 100,000 adults and children. San Antonio hosts the largest
march in the United States.
The MLK Commission organizes the march and leads the community effort of more than two dozen events
paying tribute to Dr. King. The wide variety of educational, inspirational and celebratory events, take
place at locations across the city.
Education: Marching in the reality of the dream…
Will be the focus of the 2010 MLK Commemoration. Improving the quality of our youth's
education is very important to the MLK Commission.
If you would like to support the MLK March, annual MLK scholarships,
or any of events that will take place, the MLK Commission welcomes the partnership of local and national
businesses. Please contact the City of San Antonio MLK Commission staff by email.
