The event celebrated the life of dr. King, and focused on his relationship with U.S. presidents and the role of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.
"[The] program is important so it can remind us about what history has taught us, and if we don't learn from history, we are bound to repeat it," explained Kas Williams, of Misericordia University.
Melissa Rivers, the new president of the Luzerne County Branch of of the NAACP, noted that they are always looking for new members to keep the organization's work alive in our community.
