The 19th Ward Community Association (19WCA) Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Luminary Night which falls on the nationally recognized MLK Holiday; as the community continues its efforts in bringing residents together and maintaining the spirit of love inspired by MLK and leaders of our community.

This year the neighborhood will celebrate the 14th Annual 19WCA Luminary Evening event by "lighting up the neighborhood” with luminaries, lanterns and flashlights to express our solidarity with the values of Martin Luther King’s Beloved Community and his important campaign against racism and poverty.

In these challenging times, we want to focus on the importance of coming together as a neighborhood community to celebrate our resilience and to join to participate and support each other in the on-going work of not only organizing but creating a community that recognizes the values of the Beloved Community of the 19th Ward.
