MLK
Holiday: A day on, not off
In a sermon delivered just two months before his 1968 assassination, Martin
Luther King, Jr., told his Ebenezer Baptist Church congregation, "everybody
can be great because everybody can serve." On January 20, Furman will
heed the civil rights leader's call for service by celebrating the King
holiday with the university's largest off-campus outreach project.
Inside Furman is published monthly during the school year by the Furman University Department of Marketing and Public Relations. For story ideas, e-mail John Roberts, editor.
