How does the city of St. Augustine celebrate MLK Day?

St. Augustine played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement, with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. himself visiting the city in 1964 to support local activists fighting for desegregation. Their efforts led to powerful protests that ultimately helped push forward the Civil Rights Act. Today, MLK Day in St. Augustine is a time to reflect, honor his legacy, and recognize the city’s role in the fight for equality through events, marches, and community gatherings.
