Join the Yale Peabody Museum, CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, and the New Haven Museum for the 29th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Legacy of Social and Environmental Justice with a full day of free events open to all.
There will be performances, kid-friendly activities, crafts, food trucks, and a poetry slam over the course of the day at both the Yale Peabody Museum and the New Haven Museum. A group of New Haven elders will share their experience fighting for voting rights in a short documentary film, receiving its premiere at the event. The Sons of Allen Men’s Choir from AME Church and musician Michael Mills will perform. Join influential poet-performers Croilot (Kwalo) and Sharmont Influence-Little as they emcee an electrifying spoken word experience in honor of Zannette Lewis, founder of the annual MLK Poetry Slam. This signature event attracts a large and supportive crowd every year.
