To close out the 2024 March On Festival, we gathered for a Southern-inspired meal curated by two-time James Beard Award-nominated @ChefKeithCorbin. As we shared stories and savored flavors inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s favorite dishes, it was a fitting end to a week of learning, activism, and community.

At the National Archives event, the March On Festival audience was treated to a remarkable live taping of New York Public Radio’s Notes From America with Kai Wright. The evening centered around a profound conversation between host Kai Wright and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who discussed her new memoir Lovely One.

Justice Jackson shared personal and powerful stories, tracing her family’s journey from the days of segregation to her historic confirmation as the first Black woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Her candid reflections on her life, family, and rise to the nation’s highest court left attendees inspired and moved.

The discussion, filled with insights on race, justice, and resilience, underscored the ongoing impact of history on our present and future. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this unforgettable event!
