On a cold but beautiful winter day, people gathered around to hear our next governor speak about service

MLK Day of Service (1/19/26)

About 100 people braved the cold and icy conditions to participate in a MLK Day of Service event in the Fairview neighborhood of Camden. The event was hosted by the Camden County Commissioners and attend by Governor Elect Mikie Sherrill. Mikie gave a great speech about MLK’s first combined act of civil disobedience and legal action against racial discrimination that happened in Camden. The park cleanup was changed to shoveling walkways for neighbors.

This morning, CRI participated in lCamden County Commissioners’ MLK Jr. Day of Service in Camden. Special guest, Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill spoke about MLK Jr’s little known connection to Camden, reflecting on the birth of the Civil Rights Movement which occurred right here in Camden County!
