Partnership Kicks Off Around Martin Luther King Jr. Day to Honor the Life and Impact of Dr. King and Coretta Scott King

ATLANTA, Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As communities across the country prepare to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2026, Clear Channel Outdoor (NYSE: CCO) has launched a strategic, multiphase partnership with The King Center, rooted in a shared commitment to honoring the life, legacy and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King.

Launching around MLK Day, the partnership will debut with a national digital billboard campaign that reflects the spirit of Dr. King's work, highlighting a legacy defined by public service, a selfless pursuit of justice for all, and a lifelong commitment to peace and nonviolence. As part of the ongoing collaboration, CCO will participate in The King Center's lineup of events for the 2026 King Holiday Observance – a series of engaging experiences centered on learning, service and community, culminating on the King Holiday on January 19.

"Now more than ever, our society needs influence from the words and leadership of my father and my mother," said King Center CEO, Dr. Bernice A. King. "I deeply appreciate our partnership with Clear Channel Outdoor and how it will serve to amplify a love-centered message, along with the love-centered work of The King Center."

Future phases of the partnership, including activations during Black History Month, will tap into The King Center's historic archives to bring powerful moments from history to life on CCO's digital billboards in Atlanta and nationwide. As the largest repository of primary source materials on Dr. King and the American Civil Rights Movement, the archive includes never-before-seen visuals documenting the life and work of Dr. King and serves as a vital resource for helping a new generation better connect with our nation's history.

The partnership also concides with a historic milestone, as February 2026 marks the 100^th anniversary of national Black History Month commemorations in the United States. Throughout the year, Clear Channel Outdoor will further collaborate on additional opportunities for internal and external community engagement through The King Center's educational and training programs.   

"By partnering with The King Center, we hope to inspire reflection, learning and connection in the communities where we live, work and serve," said Dan Levi, EVP & CMO, Clear Channel Outdoor. "It's an honor to use our platform to support The King Center's mission and help extend Dr. King's vision so it continues to reach and empower future generations."
