Martin Luther King Jr. Day

The Martin Luther King Jr. Coalition held its 44th annual Martin Luther King Jr. event in Manchester, with the theme of “Uplifting Resistance through Community.”

One of the most memorable visits Martin Luther King Jr. made to the state was on Oct. 26, 1952, where he visited a church in Portsmouth and delivered a sermon called “Going Forward by Going Backward.”

Events, remembrances and celebrations are taking place across the state, from Peterborough, to Portsmouth, to Hanover.

This Martin Luther King Jr. Day special will air Monday, Jan. 19 at 9:00 p.m. on NHPR and NHPR.org

The Martin Luther King Jr. Coalition’s 43rd annual celebration of King’s life coincided with President Donald Trump's return to office.

The theme of this year’s event was “Communication Across Difference: Toward Beloved Community."

New Hampshire was the last state to declare a state holiday in King's honor, in 1999.

NHPR will offer special programming in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
