In remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Forest Grove residents will come together on January 20th to advocate for racial justice with an afternoon of creativity, reflection and solidarity. Community members of all ages are invited to participate in the 2025 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Art March hosted by Western WashCo for Racial Justice at the Forest Grove Community Auditorium.
The event will feature a recorded speech from Dr. King, alongside opportunities for attendees to collaborate on a public art piece honoring Dr. King's work and the civil rights movement. Participants will also have access to art supplies to create individual posters and artwork, which they can carry during a community march around the block.
Learn more about the event here and plan to join Pacific University students, staff, and faculty as we attend! We will meet up on the UC Patio at 11:45am and walk to the auditorium together.
If you will not be in Forest Grove on MLK Day (a Pacific University holiday), additional Portland Metro opportunities to engage with this "National Day of Service" can be found in the McCall Center for Civic Engagement's list of MLK Day 2025 Events.
Although this is a Pacific University holiday, we encourage you to think of it as a "A Day On, Not a Day Off' - established 30 years ago to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King, and to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities.
