MLK Day Program
The World of Wellesley is delighted to welcome J.R. Harris, wilderness explorer and author, as the 2026 Martin Luther King Day Keynote Speaker. Through decades of solo exploration across some of the world’s most remote landscapes, J.R. brings a deeply human perspective on hope, resilience, courage, and our connection to the natural world. His keynote will offer a meaningful and inspiring lens on Dr. King’s legacy; rooted in endurance, moral clarity, and the belief that access, belonging, and dignity extend from our civic spaces to the wider world we share.
