CHASING DREAMS
January 19, 2026, will be a day of action, reflection, and community. As the country transitions to new leadership and Atlanta hosts the College Football Playoff National Championship, thousands of Atlantans will honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy by uniting in service.
“It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly.””
