Join us to remember Dr. King's legacy and to honor his ability to galvanize change through nonviolent means by using rocks as a platform to paint symbols of peace. For adults.

King's success in the civil rights movement demonstrated the power of non-violent resistance. He inspired other movements for social change such as the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa led by Nelson Mandela to the pro-democracy protests in Eastern Europe. King’s principles have been adopted and adapted by activists worldwide. Today his legacy inspires contemporary movements, such as the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, climate justice, and racial equality.

Join us to remember Dr King's legacy and to honor his ability to galvanize change through nonviolent means by using rocks as a platform to paint symbols of peace.

Attendance is limited and advance registration is required. For ages 18+.
