Brookhaven’s seventh annual MLK Day Dinner and Celebration returns Monday, Jan. 16, at 5 p.m. to Lynwood Recreation Center, its original location after taking place outdoors in the Brookhaven MARTA station parking lot for the past two years due to the pandemic.
The event takes place in the Lynwood Community Center, once the site of the segregated Lynwood Schools, whose students bravely integrated into the DeKalb School System in 1968.
“I am excited that this wonderful event is returning to its original home this year – historic Lynwood Schools, now the Lynwood Recreation Center,” said District 1 City Councilwoman Linley Jones. “I invite the public to join us for a family-friendly inspirational and educational evening.”
The event will include dinner, giveaways, live performances, and guest speakers to be announced soon.
Tickets to the event are $10 each and can be purchased at Lynwood Recreation Center, 3360 Osborne Road, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m., or by calling 404-637-0542.
