ABOUT US
A legacy of service, built by
community.
The Oklahoma City MLK Jr. Alliance is a civic organization dedicated to
honoring Dr. King's life through action - scholarships, service, education, and
unity.
OUR STORY
Four decades of carrying the dream forward.
Founded by a coalition of faith, civic, and community leaders, the Alliance began with a simple conviction: that Dr. King's call to service belongs to every neighborhood, in every generation.
Today we bring that conviction to life through annual scholarships for graduating seniors, service projects, educational programming, and the signature OKC MLK Day Parade and Celebration.
