Behind the Gala

Celebrating Years of Commitment to Our Cause

The MLK Legacy Celebration & Awards was founded in 2015 by Armetha Pihlstrom. Again we return to continue its vital mission: recognizing exceptional individuals who embody Rev. Dr. King's transformative spirit through their visionary leadership and community impact.

This prestigious celebration stems from Armetha Pihlstrom's deep-rooted passion to honor those who dedicate themselves to creating positive change in our society and world. As a generational thought-provoking leader, business strategist, and philanthropist herself, Armetha created this platform to illuminate the paths of change-makers who, like Rev. Dr. King, dare to dream of, and actively build, a better tomorrow.
