Family Series    Saturday, January 13, 12:30 - 6:30 p.m.

Entire families, from children to elders, played a part in the civil rights movement.  Today, families gather during the King Holiday to pass down stories and to share in our nation’s remembrance of the civil rights movement. Families can also use this holiday to begin a new tradition of volunteerism and community service. Attend any selection of films, exhibits and service projects specially designed for parents and younger children to learn the lessons of the civil rights movement and to draw a stronger connection to volunteer service.

These events are free and open to the public.
