The annual observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Day was celebrated by students and staff at the Keystone Job Corps Center on Monday, January 16.

This year’s program centered on a challenge to each of the center’s nine dormitories to create banners commemorating Dr. King’s life. Later in the day students participated in a freedom walk with their banners to a center wide assembly where they paid tribute to Dr. King’s legacy through reading excerpts from his speeches, poetry and song.

Many students commented how the day’s activities helped them learn so much more about Dr. King’s vision and philosophy.

Local News-13 reported on the events in their evening broadcast.
