Rally Announces 2025 Event to Celebrate 30th Anniversary: 'Walk Together' to be Held Sunday, January 19, 2025
The unveiling of the commissioned artwork from artist Jevon Woods (Lincoln, NE) complemented the announcements around the 2025 30th anniversary of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Youth Rally will be held Sunday, January 19, 2025. The piece and accompanying components in 2024-2025 will align with the Rally's mission to promote positive youth action.
The image speaks to the Rally founder, the late Dr. Leola Bullock, a prominent Lincoln and Nebraska Civil Rights Leader who envisioned youth as the architects of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s blueprint. The images capture moments from each decade of the Rally, symbolized by King's iconic pointing. This powerful gesture connects us to the past and inspires us for the future, highlighting the crucial role of youth in the civil rights movement.
