Garner's annual celebration of the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is free, and all are welcome. This year's keynote speaker will be the Rev. Dr. David Forbes, a local Civil Rights Movement icon who was one of the founding members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Mayor Buddy Gupton, U.S. Rep. Wiley Nickel and the SGA presidents from Garner's high schools also will make remarks.

A Unity Walk will precede the program at GPAC. At 2:45 p.m., participants in the walk will meet in the GPAC parking lot and proceed over to the Garner History Museum at the Depot. The Unity Walk begins at approximately 3 p.m. from the museum to GPAC.
