The event will be held on January 20, 2025, at 3 p.m., at the Church of the Resurrection, 1619 California Avenue in Bond Hill.
Everyone in the Greater Cincinnati community is invited to attend the free event.
Keynote speaker will be Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney, vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati. Courtis Fuller, a Hall of Fame broadcast journalist and retired news anchor and reporter at WLWT, will be the emcee. This year’s theme is “Let the Light Rise in the Darkness.”
The 2025 honorees are:

The Keep the Dream Alive honorees embody Dr. King’s legacy by following his teachings and contributing to the betterment of the community. Since 2001, 195 community members have been honored with the Keep the Dream Alive award.
This year’s theme was inspired by the following quote by Dr. King: “Darkness cannot put out darkness; only love can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
