MLK March

The nation’s largest Martin Luther King Jr. Day march carries special significance in San Antonio, where a small Black community helped build a tradition that now draws hundreds of thousands each year.

The Rev. Raymond Aaron Callies started the event to bring attention to deficiencies affecting Black residents on the city’s east side.

San Antonio is preparing for what's believed to be the largest Martin Luther King Jr. March in the country this Monday. Two special guests will take the stage at the end of the march.

Most San Antonio area schools and universities canceled classes on Tuesday. By Tuesday evening, most announced a return to regular schedules on Wednesday, with the exception of SAISD.

People of all faiths and backgrounds marched together to honor Dr. King's aspirations for a just society.

This will be the 38th time that people have gathered at the Martin Luther King Jr. Academy on the East Side and walked the two and a half miles to Pittman Sullivan Park.

DreamWeek San Antonio 2025's theme is #WeAreNeighbor.

'Building Our Beloved Community' and 'Don't Wait for Change' are among the possible themes for the upcoming annual event.

Frigid conditions persist across the San Antonio area, but the precipitation has dissipated. There was ice on the stage and in the field where people were going to gather at Pittman Sullivan Park for San Antonio's Martin Luther King Jr. March events. Besides icy roads Monday morning, safety concerns at the park were also a factor in canceling the MLK March.

The chair of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commission says the MLK March on Monday will proceed as planned as an Arctic cold front makes for bitter cold march conditions. The front is now expected to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday.
