| The Martin Luther King, Jr. Ecumenical Service was well attended with over 1,000 attendees filling up the pews at Morris Street Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon. The joyous and spirited occasion saw a diverse crowd from young to old with various ethnic backgrounds coming together to commemorate the life and legacy of the aforementioned civil rights icon. This year marked the 45th annual MLK celebration which is one of the longest running events in Charleston hosted by the YCWA of Greater Charleston. |
