Community members gather at MLK Center on Saturday

Monday is Martin Luther King Day, but some celebrated and learned about his life Saturday, as families gathered at the Martin Luther King Center downtown for games and activities.

There was face painting, basketball games, and arts and crafts. Everyone who attended reflected back on Dr. King’s message.

DaQuan Harrison of Wilmington said he went to the MLK Center “Cause he is a good person, and worked to bring black and white people together; he just did great things for the community.”
