Ocean City will celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, Jan. 17.

The ceremony will start at 12 p.m. at the Ocean City Music Pier. The event brings the community together to remember Dr. King through words, song and dance.

The city annually honors residents of Ocean City with the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards.

This award is given to someone who exemplifies the philosophy and ideas of the late Dr. King, who worked to advance civil rights, equal education, labor rights, voter rights and who fought racial inequality through non-violence and civil disobedience.
