The Manhattan Country School’s Commemorative March, this year entitled “Changing the System: Marching Toward Justice,” is an annual tradition upheld by the passion and leadership of the school’s students and the school’s commitment to achieving Dr. King’s dream of unity, peace and equity. Along the route of the march, which includes historically significant stops like Frederick Douglass Circle, Low Library at Columbia University and the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, eighth graders in groups of three or four will deliver speeches.

The march will take place January 21st from 10:00a.m. to 2:00p.m. and the public is invited to participate. You can see the whole route here.
