Walk Together: 2023 MLK Youth Rally

Several Lincoln Public Schools students gathered with the Lincoln community to further Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s vision of equity at the 28th annual MLK Youth Rally on Jan. 16.

Rally participants shared poems, songs and speeches to encourage action in our community to carry on Dr. King’s legacy. This year’s event was the first time it was held in person and virtually since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
