Martin Luther King Jr. Day honors one of the most significant figures in modern history, a man who literally changed the world with his vision and ideas; and a man who has inspired the composition of a number of great songs.

In planning the ideal Martin Luther King Jr. celebration, the host also must plan a playlist that is both fun and reverential. It could include songs such as:
Pride (In the Name of Love) by U2
Abraham, Martin and John by Dion
Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight and the Pips (as Georgia was King’s home state)
Black or White by Michael Jackson
Rainy Night in Georgia by Conway Twitty and Sam Moore
Tennessee by Arrested Development (which addresses racial issues)
Original Sin by INXS (which addresses racial issues)
Freedom by the Pointer Sisters
We Shall Be Free by Garth Brooks
Georgia by Ray Charles
Any Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration also should include some tasteful party supplies; which could include a banner or wall art bearing King’s immortal likeness, placemats or take home party favor scrolls that come imprinted with phrases from his “I Have a Dream” speech, as well as plates and other tableware in subtle, muted colors.
Creative suggestion: Avoid waiting until the last minute to pick things out or pick them up, no need to add more stress. Everyone does not drink alcohol, be inclusive when planning a get-together and have a choice of drinks that include non-alcoholic opinions. When decorating a room to match a given theme or idea explore not just the horizontal space, but the vertical space as well.

February in many parts of the country is a cold month, staying inside is best and so to stay warm celebrate this day with a Martin Luther King Jr Day theme cake. In honor of the man who would turn decades of history upside and correct the wrongs of the past here is a cake appropriate to the that idea, that theme. Serve an old fashion pineapple upside down cake, only thing needed is the ingredients and those can be acquired when working on the party supplies as well. Some ideas to help decorate around where the cake will sit once done, and could be placed on top as desired. Here are the directions to making the cake, start with heating the oven to 325 degrees and then get a 10 inch heavy skillet to melt ½ cup of butter on low heat. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the pan, after removing from the heat. Next place the pineapple slices to cover the bottom of the skillet. Place cherries around the pineapple and set aside. Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Prepare the eggs for use by separating the whites from the yolks and set to bake in the oven.

Martin Luther King played a pivotal part in the history not just of Black Americans, but of American history as a whole. It is only right that the life of such an important person in our histories be celebrated in style with a Martin Luther King Party. In celebrating the legacy of the man, Martin Luther King, we also celebrate how far we have come in securing the rights and dignity of all Americans no matter their color, race, creed, sexual orientations, or other differences.
Many people celebrate Martin Luther King Day on January 20th each year. Most people don't traditionally celebrate with a party, but a Martin Luther King Party is a wonderful way to celebrate the life of the man who has meant so much to our country's history and to teach the value of his life's purpose to others.
If you are planning a Martin Luther King Party, it is a good idea to send invitations early, clearly spelling out what the party will be about, and any special instructions for the party. For that reason, good invitations should be used, and since these parties are not common, you might have to make the invitations yourself. Using copied photographs of Martin Luther King or copies of his "I have a dream" speech folded into card form, work well.
If you use copies of the speech, you can always highlight one particular section of the speech for each guest, and depending on the ages, perhaps just the children, may then line up at the party and take turns reciting the line they learned or reading the line, until they have reinacted the whole "I Have a Dream" speech. Or, you could get a book about him and read from that. This can be a wonderful lesson, and later, after a pot luck dinner, everyone can watch Martin Luther King giving his speech. This is a wonderful idea, and a great way to teach the goals of unity to which Martin Luther King dedicated his life.
