–
DATE: January 19th, 2026
TIME: 10:30 am
LOCATION: In front of Randolph Street United Methodist Church (118 S. Randolph Street, Lexington, Virginia)
We are also seeking artists who would be interested in illustrating or designing a creative poster for this important event, which comes at a crucial time when social action and community union feel more necessary than ever before. If you are interested, please feel free to download the file of our poster template to be used as your canvas.
We ask that, for copyright reasons, artists refrain from using images of King that are not clearly original work. For example, we cannot use a photo of King or a drawing that is based on a recognizable photo.
Feel free to submit designs or ask questions by reaching out to Professor LeBlanc at leblancr1@icloud.com. In submitting your work, we request that you also provide contact information so that we can reach out to you for future communications regarding the usage of your design. Deadline for submission is December 10th, 2025, but earlier submissions are welcome.
