"Time and action are the teachers.”. Dr Martin Luther King
We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
The Arts touch every life. Whether through music, dance, painting, poetry, or theater, they speak a universal language that transcends age, culture, and background. They invite us to imagine, to empathize, and to see the world through someone else’s eyes. Art connects communities, nurtures creativity, and inspires action. It reminds us of our shared humanity and has the power to heal, unite, and move people toward understanding and hope.
Celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the 2026 MLK Rhythm of Texoma Talent Showcase! Take a spiritual journey thru the 2026 MLK Gospel Music Festival. Stand together at the 2026 MLK Multicultural Parade to create a sense of pride and belonging, showcasing the talents, traditions, and spirit of the community.
