Martin Luther King "Keep the Dream Alive" Event
(Cincinnati OH) – Eight Greater Cincinnatians who personify, through words and action, the spirit and philosophy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will be honored at the 24th annual MLK “Keep the Dream Alive” Ceremony. The event will be held on January 19, 2026, 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 Congressman Greg Landsman of Ohio’s 1st Congressional District. 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 “Where Do We Go from Here?”
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, more than 200 community members representing a vast array of races, ethnicities, faiths, ages, vocations and avocations have been honored with the Keep the Dream Alive award.
The 2026 honorees are:
• Todd T. Legette
• Kathy Michel
• Dr. Sonia Jackson Myles
• Latisha Owens
• Angela and Terrence Pickett
• Charles Williams
• Danielle Helena Allen (Youth Honoree)
The theme “Where Do We Go from Here?” is based on one of Dr. King’s most famous speeches and last book, in which Dr. King acknowledged the achievements of the civil rights movement and called for a new direction—one that not only focused on political and legal rights, but also on economic justice and addressing the moral and spiritual crisis in society.
