On January 16, 2012, in honor of Martin Luther King Day, the National Museum of American Jewish History (NMAJH) located on Independence Mall, will celebrate the birthday of the civil rights hero with a family-filled day of programming.
Free admission is granted for all who visit the museum between 10 a.m.-5 p.m. to take part in a selection of events including self-guided tours which pay tribute to the struggles and efforts made for equality in America.
A screening of Eyes on the Prize, a TV series documenting interviews and historical footage during the civil rights movement will be shown in the museum’s Dell Theater.
In addition, NMAJH is partnering with the Fleisher Art Memorial, a tuition-free visual art school in Philadelphia, to inspire the little ones to get a bit creative with a special watercolor project from 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
