Our history

The 1990 historic founding sponsors of the I “Have A Dream” Committee include the Baha’i Community of Loudoun, Bluemont Concert Series, Douglass Alumni Association, and the NAACP Loudoun Branch. Individuals, families, schools, businesses, civic, and religious organizations are all welcome to participate both in person and virtually in this year’s March and Celebration.

In 2021, the organization restructured. The Dr. Martin Luther King Day March and Celebration historic celebration is now under the leadership of the newly formed MLK Diversity-Engagement Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit. In 2022 we marked the 31st Anniversary of the march and celebration, one of the largest and oldest in the region.
