In 2010, Pastor Dono Pelham and wife Angelia Pelham, founders of Linking Cultures of Frisco, had the vision to commence a community celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in a city where no such celebration had occurred in over a century of existence.
​
The annual event launched on Martin Luther King Day, January 17, 2011. The purpose is to not only honor Dr. King’s legacy, but to fulfill Linking Cultures of Frisco's mandate to thrust our youth towards their destiny.
​
Linking Cultures of Frisco seeks to unify the community through this event and encourages students from all backgrounds to participate. It is the intent that the event pulls us all together and reminds us that there are no dividing walls.
