Various events are again underway in the Huron Valley community to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
This marks the 16th annual celebration of the holiday and the HV MLK Day Committee organizes different community activities and events to encourage year-long volunteerism and reflect on Dr. Kingâs legacy and message. This yearâs theme is âHonoring Voices of Equalityâ.
Committee member Isaac Perry says itâs a well-established event and every year people express how grateful they are that it has been able to be maintained throughout the years. Perry says itâs an honor to be able to provide it for the community and he thinks it is extraordinarily important for people to be reminded of the struggles of the nationâs past, especially with respect to racial equality, but also equally important for people to hear the wisdom and inspiring message from Dr. King.
