The Detroit MLK Day Committee was established to promote and reaffirm the peace and social justice legacy of Dr. King by emphasizing his vision of organizing a mass movement against poverty and war. The Committee brings together a diverse group of Detroit activists in the movement against war and poverty and for social justice who meet throughout the year to build for the Annual Detroit MLK Day Rally.

For more than two decades, the Detroit MLK Day Committee has opened the new year with an event that inspires and invigorates the Detroit progressive community with a renewed sense of commitment to struggle for a better world
