Freedom Center announces 20th annual King Legacy Celebration

The King Legacy Celebration represents the Freedom Center’s commitment to community unity and is an opportunity to reflect on Dr. King’s enduring message that freedom is a universal and fundamental human right. Though Dr. King believed in the inevitable march to freedom, the decades since his passing have shown it remains a multi-generational pursuit. The Freedom Center’s 2025 King Legacy Celebration will energize the next generation of leaders – drum majors for justice according to Dr. King – as they take the torch and continue the march to freedom.

Kroger’s support as presenting sponsor is helping the Freedom Center build a rousing program that will feature live music performances and a keynote presentation.

“Kroger is proud to continue our support of the Freedom Center and its King Legacy Celebration for a third year,” said Tim Massa, senior vice president and chief people officer for Kroger. “When we come together to honor Dr. King’s legacy, we help to keep his dream of equality and inclusion alive while also honoring those who fought for justice and uplifting the next generation of leaders.”

The King Legacy Celebration will include a continental breakfast and an opportunity for fellowship before the program begins. Doors open at 8 a.m. with performances and the keynote presentation beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Tickets for the King Legacy Celebration are $50 for the in-person program or $25 for livestream access. Discounted tickets are available for Freedom Center Members at $40 for the in-person program or $20 for livestream access. Tickets are available at freedomcenter.org/klc25.
