Become a peaceful revolutionary in modern times. Two upcoming events celebrate the life and continuing progress made by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The first is the annual MLK Celebration held at Francis Marion University. On January 12th at 6:30pm, Jesse Washington, Jr., Former Executive Director of the SC Human Affairs Commission will be speaking about "Celebrating the Legacy, Living the Dream". This celebration, sure to be very thought-provoking, is free and open to the public. (The Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce, FMU, and Hope Health make this possible.)
The second is the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Interfaith Prayer Breakfast to be held at Savannah Grove Baptist Church at 7:30am on January 13th. It will be a time to reflect on the Dream of Dr. King and honor 15 local citizens with the “Rev. Dr. William P. Diggs Community Service Award” presented by The Community Times in their 25th anniversary year. Tickets for this award breakfast may be purchased through DBS Communications, with net proceeds benefiting two local shelters.
"Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal."
- MLK
