The City of Bloomington Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration Commission is excited to commemorate this year’s event with the theme “A Necessary Renaissance in Social Justice: Telling the Stories to Ignite Change.”
We are thrilled to announce that Keith A. Beauchamp, an acclaimed investigative journalist, documentarian, activist, and filmmaker, will be our keynote speaker for this significant occasion. Beauchamp’s groundbreaking investigative reporting and his 2005 documentary were instrumental in prompting the State of Mississippi to reopen the murder case of Emmett Till. His long-term collaboration with Emmett’s mother culminated in the powerful feature film, TILL, which has received numerous nominations from the Screen Actors Guild Awards, BAFTAs, and Critics’ Choice Awards and is currently streaming on major platforms.
The Birthday Celebration will also feature inspirational messages from local government and community leaders, musical performances, the Legacy Award presentation, and more.
