MLK Week And March To Be Virtual In 2021 Tuesday, December 29, 2020 Martin Luther King, Jr.'s words serve as the theme of the 51st Annual MLK Week and March -- “Just Keep Moving”, and given COVID-19 concerns, the 51st Annual MLK Week and March will “keep moving” by celebrating virtually in 2021, Jan. 12-18. In 1967 Martin Luther King addressed a group of students at Glenville High School in Cleveland, Ohio. He spoke about the virtues of freedom and human dignity. He urged them to “develop within ourselves a deep sense of somebodiness.” He told them to “make constructive use of the freedom we already possess.”
