Manhattan Country School eighth graders honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by taking to the streets of Manhattan to speak out about what they consider to be the most pressing civil rights issues of their time.

MCS families, alumni, staff, friends, supporters and the general public are invited to participate in this educational and uplifting annual event. As the oldest students at Manhattan Country School, the eighth-graders are responsible for planning this annual march—from choosing the theme and selecting the route to writing the speeches and publicizing the event. This march, now in its 34th year, is part of the school’s core curriculum, which includes activism and community building beginning in pre-K.
