New Haven, Conn. – The Yale Peabody Museum’s
25th Annual MLK celebration presents a line-up of exciting, virtual events generously sponsored by Citizens™.
Alongside new and longstanding community partners, the Peabody is marking this anniversary with a focus on pressing issues of racial and environmental justice while also honoring the legacies of Dr. King and the visionary local leaders who have stewarded this event for a quarter of a century.
The Peabody joins the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, New Haven Museum, Students for Educational Justice, and the Yale Schwarzman Center to offer a slate of programs that testify to the art of storytelling as a form of resistance, the importance of remembrance, and the liberating power of imagining new futures together.
