MLK Celebration 2025

Participating in the Annual MLK Breakfast in Washington, DC is always a powerful reminder that Dr. King’s legacy belongs not only to our nation, but to the world. The International Salute was a particularly moving experience—one that underscored how Dr. King’s vision of justice, dignity, and collective responsibility continues to resonate across cultures, borders, and generations.

What makes this gathering so special is its spirit of unity. Diplomats, civic leaders, faith communities, artists, educators, and advocates come together around a shared commitment to service and moral leadership. The International Salute offered a vivid reflection of Dr. King’s belief that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” lifting up global voices working toward peace, equity, and human rights.

Beyond the inspiring remarks and tributes, the breakfast created space for connection—conversations across sectors and backgrounds. It was a reminder that meaningful change is sustained not only through speeches, but through relationships and most importantly action.

As we reflect on Dr. King’s enduring call to build a beloved community, gatherings like this affirm that his dream lives on—in Washington, DC, and far beyond—through the people and partnerships committed to carrying it forward.
