What is My Legacy? Author Talk: Realizing a New Dream of Connection, Love and Fulfillment

In honor of MLK Week, join us for a compelling conversation with Martin Luther King III and Arndrea Waters King, moderated by Laura Coates, CNN senior legal analyst and host of “Laura Coates Live.”

The evening will center around the Kings’ newest work, “What Is My Legacy,” an inspiring exploration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s principles of equality, justice, and hope, and how they resonate in today’s world.

Legacy Architects and co-authors Marc Kielburger and Craig Kielburger join the conversation as the panel explores how all of us live our legacy everyday, through actions big and small.

This event is made possible in part by the generous support of the DC Public Library Foundation.

About What is My Legacy
To heal a world in crisis, we must rethink “legacy”- and commit to something bigger than ourselves

From the time he was born, Martin Luther King III has carried the weight of his father’s legacy-and his dream of a Beloved Community built on justice, love and equal rights for all. Today in a world burdened by histories of violence, oppression, racism, poverty, fear and disconnectedness, that dream seems more remote than ever.

In answer to these challenges, Martin has teamed up with his wife and fellow activist Arndrea Waters King and legacy architects Marc Kielburger and Craig Kielburger to find a new way forward. Drawing on breakthroughs in neuroscience, psychology, epigenetics and their own lived experiences, they have created a groundbreaking new framework called Living Legacy.

It’s based on the simple but profound recognition that our small day-to-day actions create legacies that have the power to transform, uplift and unite us all. It’s time to reevaluate, recognize, and reclaim those legacies. Living Legacy invites us to live our best lives and live larger than ourselves – and in doing so, discover the most sought after yet elusive state of being fulfilled.

In conjunction with the Realize the Dream Campaign, What is My Legacy? Kicks off an essential conversation on how to best refocus our individual stories to achieve collective change Featuring never-been-told stories from the King family and contributions from celebrity and though leaders-including His Holiness the Dali Lama, Jay Shetty, Julia Roberts, Yara Shahidi, Reverend Al Sharpton and Dr. Sanjay Gupta – it’s an extraordinary road map for finding genuine connection, bringing us closer to Dr. King’s dream of a Beloved Community.

From four visionary leaders who have dedicated their lives to making a difference. Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielbirger and Craig Kielburger comes a reimagined framework for legacy, one that builds connection, love and fulfillment by living your legacy every day.

The event is finished.
