Our story began 40 years ago, when members of St. Stephens AME Zion Church organized the first MLK Day Breakfast in Branford. From its humble beginnings in a small church, the MLK Day Breakfast has blossomed into a hugely popular annual event, with a roster of renowned speakers, held at Branford High School. It also led to the formation of the nonprofit MLK Heritage Foundation, whose mission is to honor the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by enlightening and uplifting our community. ​ Today, the MLK Heritage Foundation continues to expand our reach, inspired by the legacy of Dr. King. Among our projects is 'Meals for the Mind,' a groundbreaking series of bi-monthly evenings where 10 people from different backgrounds - whether cultural, racial, ideological, or generational – share a meal, talk, and simply get to know each other. We also hold annual Black History Month events at the Blackstone Library and Branford High School, and we annually award scholarships to high school seniors whose works in the community embody the spirit of Dr. King. ​ At the MLK Heritage Foundation, our mission is a testament to our commitment to a more equitable and unified society. If you’d like to join us on our journey, we urge you to contact us and learn what we’ve been up to. Together, we can create a better future.
