MAGNOLIA, Ark.― Martin Luther King Jr. will be remembered with a march and a program on the Southern Arkansas University campus on January 21, Martin Luther King Day.
The march begins at noon on Monday at the intersection of North Vine and University. Participants in the march will make their way to Foundation Hall at the Donald W. Reynolds Center at SAU.
