Join the State's MLK Day Celebration

Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan invite Minnesotans of all ages to join the 36th Annual State of Minnesota Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

As the civil rights leader said in 1957, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?” That’s why this year’s theme is Beloved Community in Action. Throughout the celebration, you’ll hear Minnesotans reflect on what Dr. King means to them and how they’re building a thriving society that embodies love and justice and works to end racism and poverty.

The celebration is a 25-minute recorded video and premiers on Monday, January 17 at 11 am on the Governor's YouTube ChannelAfter watching the video, we invite you to share ways you are creating a Beloved Community by using #MNMLK on social media.
