Join us in honoring Dr. King's legacy.

Germanna Community College invites you to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s enduring legacy in the American Civil Rights Movement. This day serves as both a time for reflection on our progress toward equality and justice, and a call to action as we continue the journey toward a more inclusive society. The 2025 MLK theme is Mission Possible: Protecting Freedom, Justice, and Democracy in the Spirit of Nonviolence365.

Reflection and Action

Take this opportunity to reflect on Dr. King's teachings of peace, equality, and justice. We encourage you to participate in community service, attend workshops, and engage in discussions that highlight the relevance of his vision today.

Unity and Community

At Germanna, we believe in the strength of unity and the power of community. This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we came together to celebrate our diversity and commit to building a more equitable and just world.
