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, January 18, 2016 from 2 to 4 p.m. The event will be held in Kerney Hall (KC 229) 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. 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.
The ceremony will be hosted by MCCC Professor of Communication Alvyn Haywood, and is free and open to the public.
