The 44th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Service & Awards will be in-person and will also be streamed on Facebook and YouTube starting at 10:30am on Monday, January 18th, 2027.
This year’s theme, “Never lose infinite hope,” comes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1968 sermon Shattered Dreams.
Our featured speaker will be Rev. Damon T. Colvin of Second Baptist Church.
The program will include a variety of performances and presentations in honor of Dr. King, and two scholarships will be awarded. The “I Have A Dream” Award will be presented to a Rock Island citizen for exemplary community service and enormous contributions made to the community.
A recording of this event will be available afterwards on our Facebook page, website, and YouTube channel.
