Keynote speaker: Judge Romonda D. Belcher

Since 1986, the Remembering Martin luncheon has been an important part of the celebration of the Martin Luther King holiday in our community. Commemorating the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. and recognizing student leaders from throughout the area, the luncheon has become a must-attend event for the observance of the holiday with crowds of more than 500 people. This event unites non-profit agencies, schools, corporations, philanthropists and students for a one-of-a-kind affair.

The event will recognize over 22 student leaders who demonstrate Dr. King’s honorable characteristics through their volunteer work, school attendance and positive behavior. Invitations to participate have been extended to each middle school and high school in the Cedar Rapids area.
