WE'RE ELIMINATING RACISM
with our annual MLK Celebration
|
Our inaugural MLK Celebration was one of the first national tributes of its kind. First held on January 15, 1972, this regional event has grown to traditionally encompass 10 days each January and is the largest MLK celebration in South Carolina. This year, because of COVID-19, the event will be largely virtual.
