"His Vision, Our Mission"
 

Every January, Plano, Texas celebrates the birthday and the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was "His vision" and now "our mission" to promote unity and equality for all Americans.
 
The Plano MLK Celebration Committee, a volunteer community service organization, is planning a number of events for the upcoming 2008 MLK holiday. This year's celebration begins Saturday morning January 19th with a Parade  in Downtown Plano. Immediately following the parade a Program will be held at Plano City Hall. At noon a Health Fair  and a Free Luncheon will be held at the Douglass Community Center in East Plano. On Sunday evening a Mass Choir performs at Saint Andrew United Methodist Church in Plano. On Monday a Leadership Breakfast   is held at Collin College followed by a Youth Program. On Thursday January 24th, Plano ISD hosts an MLK Tribute Event at the Plano Centre.  Please click on each event for further details. All of the events are free and open to the public.
