Join Service-Learning virtually for the 17th annual MLK Challenge on Jan. 20 from 11 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have suspended in-person service; however, we will host a special guest speaker, Bree Newsome – “Tearing Hatred From The Sky: A Moderated Dialogue.”

Following the brutal murder of nine black parishioners at Mother Emmanuel Church in Charleston, S.C., Bree climbed the flagpole at the South Carolina statehouse and pulled down the Confederate Battle flag as a protest against racist symbolism. Her arrest galvanized public opinion and led to the permanent removal of the flag.  As a recognized and celebrated voice on the topics of injustice and racial discrimination, Bree brings to light the importance of leadership development in building and sustaining social movements.

Join us to listen to Bree’s experience, celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., and be inspired to serve our community.

Want to ask Bree a question? Email Jesse.Bennett@cpcc.edu by January 19. A select amount of questions will be chosen for an audience Q&A.

Advanced registration is not required – join us live on January 20.
