This year’s dinner will be honoring Dr. King’s work and students from both Siena Heights University and Adrian College. The event is organized by the MLK Jr. Community Celebration Planning Committee. This committee is made up of individuals from the community, as well as staff and students from the area’s three colleges (Siena Heights University, Adrian College and Jackson Community College).
