A Commemoration - Still We Reach: Breaking Ground for the Greater Good
On Friday, April 4, 2025, The Browning Family Foundation, City of Indianapolis, Health and Hospital Corporation, Indiana Black Legislative Caucus (IBLC), Indy Parks and Recreation, and the Marion County Health Department will hold the annual April 4th Commemoration program remembering the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Senator Robert Kennedy’s famous speech that calmed the crowd immediately following Dr. King’s tragic death.
The event will be held at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Park, located on E. 17th Street and Broadway Street in Indianapolis, IN. If there is inclement weather, the event will be moved indoors to IPS School #27 at 545 E. 19th St. which is adjacent to the park. The program will start at 5:00 PM and end at 6:15 PM. Special significance will be given to 6:01, the actual time of the assassination.
This year’s theme is Still We Reach: Breaking New Ground For The Greater Good. The event will honor individuals and organizations for their work in the community and will have several performances by community artists.
