Sunday, January 18, 2026 | The Riverside Church | New York City

(Onsite and online free event) At a moment when the hard-won gains of the Civil Rights Movement are under renewed threat, The Riverside Church calls the city and the nation to remember, recommit, and rise.

MLK NOW 2026 is not simply a commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. It is a bold, living witness to his unfinished work. Through music, preaching, prayer, and embodied storytelling, this spectacular afternoon will honor Dr. King’s radical vision for justice, dignity, and beloved community—and confront the forces still working to erase, distort, or silence that legacy today.

With The Unsung Collective – Stirring music rooted in resistance and hope under the direction of Dr. Tyrone Clinton (Harlem based group highlighting contributions of people of color in Western art music)
