The program includes a panel discussion, plus poetry and dance. All are welcome to join in this celebration of the life of Dr. King.
The staff and students of Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) James Kerney Campus (JKC) invite community members to an annual tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, Jan. 18 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The event will be held in Kerney Hall (KC 229). JKC is located in downtown Trenton at 102 North Broad Street.
The theme for this year’s commemoration is “Change Your Thoughts; Change Your Life.” The program includes a panel discussion with Trenton community activist Darren “Freedom” Green, attorney Helen Higginbotham, and Bishop Gary Mullins, of Mt. Bethel Church of God.
MCCC’s Youth College students will read original poems and essays. (Youth College is an MCCC-based enrichment program for Trenton area teens.) The program also features a tap dance performance by Quenten Couch, who is studying dance at MCCC. Couch performed at Newark’s Symphony Hall in 2015 in a show choreographed by Maurice Chestnut.
