The Carlisle-area Martin Luther King Commemoration Committee is trying to get the word out about this yearâs events, as well as its scholarship program, given the difficulties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The committeeâs speakers and public forums will move online this year, and the MLK Day parade in Carlisle will not happen. Many schools and churches, where the committee promotes its college scholarship program, are operating remotely.
âIt has been more difficult this year since weâre not in school,â committee member Judy Cobb said.
For the last 10 years the committee has been able to offer five $1,000 scholarships each year, Cobb said. The program is open to all students who are in their senior year of high school, or in college; previous winners can re-apply each year they are in college.
