Theme: The Power of Unity
This year’s program is centered around Dr. King’s quote "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools" from his speech to an audience in Oberlin, Ohio in 1964. During this speech, King speaks to the collective responsibility that we have to foster harmony, understanding, and humanity in our communities. - Indiana Civil Rights Commission
