Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey held an event commemorating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Friday afternoon.
“I think that it's fantastic they were able to provide some information that is both educational and entertaining that otherwise, our students and community may not be exposed to. It’s obviously a positive collaboration that we were able to integrate the community into what we are presenting here at the college,” said Jared Hennings of Lewis and Clark Community College.
The L&C Diversity Council event was presented by the Mannie Jackson Endowment and Center for the Humanities. The National Endowment for the Humanities funded the event. It was open to both students and the public for free. Attendees got to enjoy music, an MLK presentation, and a talk from Cindy N. Reed.
