Martin Luther King, Jr. Weekend: Building a Beloved Community

Martin Luther King, Jr. Weekend: Building a Beloved Community - Sunday
Museum Hours

In a sense all life is inter-related. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” - Martin Luther King, Jr. in a Letter from Birmingham Jail  

Celebrate, commemorate and honor the life, legacy and impact of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at Newfields this weekend. It starts with us. Creating a beloved community mindset through the transformative power of art and nature. Not just one day, but every day. Join us to be inspired by music, performance, spoken word and dance.
