‘A DAY OF SERVICE: LIVE THE DREAM, MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN!’
10 a.m., M.L. Harris Auditorium, Philander Smith College. Free.
If you get the day off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, what better
way to observe the holiday than by attending this program presented by
the MLK Commission and Little Rock’s vibrant historically black
college. Much like Philander’s slate of nationally known guest speakers
(Terrell Owens is coming Feb. 9), the program features a diverse
line-up that includes college president Dr. Walter M. Kimbrough (some
deep pockets need to start moving on his “Big Idea” in our Native’s
Guide issue), MLK Commission chairman Phillip Kaplan, the MLK Memorial
Unity Choir and, giving the keynote address, former UA basketball coach
Nolan Richardson. And take the bus. Central Arkansas Transit offers
free bus rides all day long in honor of the King Holiday.
