Carry on the legacy of Dr. King’s activism with DC Public Library’s celebration of MLK Week, It Starts with Me. In 1957, Dr. King said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?” He knew that to move toward equality, we would all have to consider our role in the work. During MLK Week 2024, DC Public Library locations across the city are honoring the voices, past and present that embody the phrase It Starts With Me. Join us for compelling discussions, check out engaging reads and immerse yourself in the history of activism right here in D.C. as we celebrate 50 years of Home Rule all with your DC Public Library
January 15th: 1:00 – 4:00 PM,
