HOLLYWOOD, CA, UNITED STATES, February 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — MLK 40: Living the Dream is a high-profile tribute to the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., taking place on Friday, February 27, 2026, at 1:30 PM at the iconic W Hollywood. Closing out Black History Month, the event honors the next generation of visionary leaders who are actively building a better future through their work in business, arts, entertainment, and public service.

These are trailblazers and heavy hitters whose leadership advances a vision of justice, equity, and community, both locally in Los Angeles and on a global scale.
The experience will feature a hosted red carpet and formal presentations for twenty distinguished honorees, including impactful figures such as Mayor Karen Bass, WalkGood LA, Yolanda “Yo-Yo” Whitaker, Dr. Veda Ramsay-Stamps, Christian D. Green, Melissa Harvey, and Karen Civil, among others. The afternoon will also feature performances by harpist Minta Spencer and multi-talented vocalist Sherie.
Beyond individual accolades, the afternoon celebrates the collective power of unity and service, reaffirming the commitment to Dr. King’s dream of a community defined by dignity, progress, and an unwavering dedication to the common good.
