Carver-Price Legacy Museum’s Martin Luther King (MLK) Ceremony Celebration returned this year, creating a multicultural experience for the community, strengthening the community’s values and providing entertainment.

The event was held Monday, Jan. 16, at Jordan Baptist Church in Appomattox.

“The highlight of the event is being able to get a group together, which is multicultural,” stated Ora McCoy, president and chairman of the Carver-Price Legacy Museum (CPLM) Board of Directors.

Jordan Baptist Church’s willingness to work with CPLM and Liberty Baptist Church provided the Appomattox community with a chance to unite regardless of one’s age, gender or race.
