Hundreds of young people are expected to gather Monday morning at Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral to celebrate the life, accomplishments and message of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The interfaith program begins at 8 a.m. and will be followed by a parade down Main Street to Emancipation Garden led by Gov. Charles W. Turnbull.
The celebration at Emancipation Garden, which begins at 10 a.m., will include remarks from the governor and musical tributes by the choirs of Charlotte Amalie High School, Ivanna Eudora Kean High School and Kirwan Terrace Elementary School.
Other participants include "God's Chosen Vessels," a pantomime group from the Faith Christian Fellowship Church, Kareem
Turnbull, a seventh-grader at Zion Assembly School, and various civic and Greek organizations.
The theme of this year's celebration is "Everybody Can Be Great, Because
Anybody Can Serve."
The ceremony was organized by the Governor's Office and the Tourism Department's special events division.
