How to get there
On behalf of the Black Heritage Society, Inc., we are honored to invite you to become a valued Sponsor Partner of our 48th Annual MLK Candlelight Vigil Festival, taking place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza, MacGregor Park in Houston, Texas.
This year’s theme is:
“Driven by Unity: Bridging the Generational Gap While Preserving Dr. King’s Legacy and Dream.”
As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us, “Let’s build bridges, not walls.” In a time marked by division and the erasure of history, we stand committed to telling the stories of our past, honoring our present, and inspiring future generations. This year also carries special meaning as we reflect on the legacy of the late Rev. Jesse L. Jackson and other civil rights leaders who advanced Dr. King’s vision of justice, equality, and the Beloved Community.
