Celebrating Dr. King's Legacy

Join us for three special events honoring Dr. King.

Join United Way and Reggie Jackson of Nurturing Diversity Partners to discuss the work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This discussion will focus on his fight for equitable wages and the work that still needs to be done. We will also take a deeper look at how United Way's Diversity Leadership Society is reducing barriers to employment and advancement for local, diverse individuals.
