Every year since 1997 the city of West Hartford, CT has commemorated Dr. Martin Luther King in a ceremony held at the West Hartford Town Hall auditorium at 50 South Main Street. These commemorations draw as many as 400 people and include student speakers, music, and a keynote speaker. This coming year, that ceremony will be held on January 20th, 2025 from 10:30 to Noon.
The theme this year is around Dr. King's 1957 quote:
“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
