Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. throughout History

All around the world, people of different races and ethnicities came together yet again to celebrate and honor the memory and hard work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

 His dream for equality and justice for all man-kind changed the world and today’s future, whereas people today especially minority people have opportunities to work, eat in public restaurants and have the chance of freedom and justice.

Winthrop Campus celebrated Dr. King’s work ethic by hosting a MLK Community Day of Service and a Gospel Concert sponsored by Winthrop’s Association of Ebonites.  

On January 20, 2013 one day before MLK Day AOE hosted a gospel Concert that reflected on many ideas about the Civil Rights Movement.

“The program that was held on Sunday, January 20 was a celebration of
the life and legacy of Dr. King.  The program was outlined to give
some trials and triumph in black history before, during and after Dr.
MLK Jr.'s life,” she said.   

“The purpose of the program was to give the audience
and especially the African-American audience a sense of pride,
integrity and encourage in some older hymnals and songs surrounding
slavery and civil rights,” said Kerin Gibson president of AOE.
