This year’s International Holocaust Remembrance Day event will bring communities together by honoring both Holocaust memory and the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., highlighting Black–Jewish relations and shared histories. The program will conclude with the unveiling of the selected design for the Circle of Humanity: Monuments for Unity and Remembrance.

The evening will include a commemoration of the Holocaust, a tribute to Dr. King’s life and
work, a screening of the film Shared Legacies: The African American-Jewish Civil Rights Alliance (educational version), and a moderated conversation. The event will also highlight progress on the Circle for Humanity project. This community driven initiative unites two enduring symbols of resilience and justice—the existing Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and a new Holocaust Memorial—creating a shared space for
education, remembrance, and the pursuit of human dignity.

Hosted jointly by the Stan Greenspon Holocaust Education Center and the Charlotte
NAACP, the program will weave remembrance, celebration, and dialogue.
