In 1971, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Coordinating Committee, Inc. was organized initially as the Black Educators Caucus, sponsoring a remedial tutorial program in cooperation with the Minority Mental Health Association.
In 1979, in cooperation with the Palm Beach County School Board, MLKCC expanded to sponsor oratory, poster and drama contests commemorating Dr. King s January birth date.
