On Monday, Jan. 20, 2025, the Livingston Committee for Diversity and Inclusion (LCDI) will celebrate and honor the life and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by hosting a day of service and commemoration. The event will be held in person at the Livingston Senior/Community Center, 204 Hillside Avenue, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

This event has been celebrated annually in Livingston since 1999 with the theme “A Day On, Not a Day Off” and has brought together many groups in Livingston including our schools, religious communities, and service and civic organizations. The objective has always been to serve others by offering a variety of ways for our residents to contribute. Music and teaching Dr. King’s core principles of love over hate and direct participation in your community have traditionally been main parts of the celebration.

The committee will be reaching out to community groups who have participated in the past. Any new groups interested in participating should email LCDI at lcdi@livingstonnj@gmail.com.
