Description
Join us for the 11 year anniversary of our annual MLK Jr. Day Clean Up, Peace March, and Celebration! West Side Grows Together and partners will host the 11th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Clean Up, Peace March, and Celebration on Monday, January 16th. The theme this year is “Hearts Full of Grace, Souls Generated by Love”.
A community clean up will commence in the area surrounding the brand new MSK Community Center at 1009 Sycamore Street at 10:30am to noon, immediately followed by a mile-long peace march from noon to 1pm, leading back to the community center for a special ribbon-cutting ceremony introducing the brand new MSK Community Center to the public, plus a free celebration from 1 to 3pm featuring local artists, live music, and special guest speakers all presented by Delaware Music Network, and community resources, advocacy opportunities, family-friendly activities, and a free community meal.

Want to make posters for the march? Visit the Delaware Art Museum before the march (10:40am to 1pm) to create a “Share Your Dreams” poster with artist K.O. Simms, and glaze a bowl for Empty Bowls, benefitting the food pantry at St. Stephens Lutheran Church. While you’re at the Museum, take a tour of Black art, watch performances by the Wilmington Children’s Chorus, and hear remarks by Andrea McCoy-Carty, Chair of the Judy Johnson Memorial Foundation and Chandra Pitts of One Village Alliance.
