Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a remarkable man whose legacy lives on to this day. We celebrate Dr. King by educating future generations about his life and mission.
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Black History Month coming up, make plans to visit these historical sites and learn about the inspirational leaders who played a significant role in African American history – right here in Coastal Mississippi. Light, love & learning are the way forward!
