YWCA MLK CELEBRATION 2021
CCDP is participating in the YWCA Greater Charleston’s annual MLK Celebration, which will migrate to a primarily-virtual format this year in light of COVID-19. The celebration is the largest MLK celebration in South Carolina and will feature a number of exciting events and ways to give back to the Charleston community. CCDP is proud to support and participate in this celebration as it moves to a virtual format and continues to honor the contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to improving our country. Given the incredibly upsetting events of last week, we recognize that now, perhaps more than ever, we must commemorate those who encouraged us as Americans to be better, with MLK being chief among them.
