Join the Peabody, the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), and the New Haven Museum for the 27th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Legacy of Social and Environment Justice—two days of free, hybrid events made possible through the generous support of our Presenting Corporate Sponsor Citizens™.
Our celebration will be held in-person for the first time since 2020. Space is limited at both venues, so advanced registration is strongly recommended.
We’ll also be live-streaming and you can join us on Zoom by visiting our website and registering:
