This event will honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with presentations and activities. Dr. King was born January 15, 1929. As a young man, he was encouraged to be a minister just like his grandfather and father. As a minister and activist, he became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the Civil Rights Movement. In December 1955 he accepted leadership of the first African-American peaceful boycott which launched his successful career as an internationally known crusader for equal rights. Join us as we honor this significant American.
