We are the harmony of young voices,
the embodiment of hope,
and the living testament to
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream.
The Martin Luther King All Children's Choir
is more than a choir;
we are a legacy,
a symbol of unity,
and a beacon of inspiration through music.
About US
The Martin Luther King, Jr. All-Children's Choir was established in 1985 and is open to singers aged 6-18. It provides an opportunity for young people in the Raleigh/Wake County area to participate in the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration. Dr. King’s birthday became a legal holiday on January 15, 1986.
MLK Holiday
The MLK holiday is an important day that celebrates the life and legacy of a civil rights icon, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It serves as a reminder of his tireless efforts to fight for racial equality and justice for all. This holiday honors his accomplishments and inspires us to continue working toward achieving his dream of a world free from discrimination and prejudice. It is a time to reflect on the progress that has been made, but also acknowledge that there is still much work to be done in the pursuit of equality and justice.
