Join us at The Center on January 13, for the launch of The Center’s newest biannual King Rotation from the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr., collection.

Now Is the Time: Remembering the Legacy of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom presented during the 60th anniversary year of the March, seeks to transport you to August 28, 1963, when 250,000 Americans of all backgrounds and all parts of the country gathered on the National Mall to demand civil and economic rights. In its aftermath, the March would come to “transform the national landscape” and provide Americans with a new concept of the American dream, as defined by Dr. Martin Luther King’s soaring, iconic and improvised words: “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” 

The exhibit will be features in The Center’s Voice to the Voiceless Gallery from January 13- June 2023.
