Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the National Day of Racial Healing

Announcement | January 17, 2022

WASHINGTON, D.C. — January 17, 2021 — Today, as we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we also celebrate the 6th annual National Day of Racial Healing. To honor and observe the National Day of Racial Healing, we encourage you to take part in your own individual reflection and provide space within your organization to build community.

“I’ll be taking this day as an opportunity to further my self-healing and consider what transformative actions I can engage in this year,” says Catherine Blake, Archives Manager at CRTKL.
