MIDLAND The Midland Women’s Civic Club will host its annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration on Jan. 18.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the free 1 p.m. event will be held virtually via Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.
Constitutional law professor and CNN contributor Michael Higginbotham will deliver the keynote address following this year’s theme, “Come Together: Only in Darkness Can You See the Stars.”
Higginbotham is a distinguished legal scholar and attorney who has taught at the University of Baltimore School of Law since 1988, earning his undergrad degree at Brown University and law degrees from both Yale University and the University of Cambridge. He made his first foray into politics as a candidate in Maryland’s special congressional election for the seat vacated by the death of Elijah Cummings.
