The 2012 AFL-CIO Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Observance will be held January 12 – 16 in Detroit, Michigan. Detroit has a rich history that is emblematic of the theme of the Observance – We Are One: Worker’s Rights and Civil Rights.
During this Observance, we will honor the life and work of Dr. King and stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Detroit who face tremendous social, economic and political challenges: high unemployment, unprecedented foreclosure rates, attacks on workers’ rights, cuts in social services and attacks on voting rights.
As in past years, we will have informative workshops and dynamic speakers and also participate in community service projects. The conference registration fee is $180 from November 1 to November 30, 2011. On-line registration and refund deadlines are November 30, 2011.
The Observance will be held at the MotorCity Casino Hotel. Lodging for Observance participants is available at the MotorCity Casino Hotel, 2901 Grand River Avenue, Detroit, with rooms available at $129 plus 15% tax per night (parking Included): and the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel, 1114 Washington Boulevard at $119 plus 15% tax per night (parking is $10). Complimentary transportation will be provided between the two hotels.
