The 35th anniversary is on Monday, January 18, 2021. In previous years, celebrations have been held locally and nationally. However, COVID-19 has greatly impacted in-person services in our region but there are many virtual events available.
Join us as we honor Dr. King, a man who inspired a nation with his commitment to leading and advancing the civil rights movement in the 1950’s-60’. We welcome you to learn, listen and grow to understand racism and explore its impacts on society.
