the Delta Cultural Center will host an annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day program. This year's title is "The Power of Peace: A Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." This event will be held at Beth El Heritage Hall. The event will feature community leaders reciting form selected Dr. King speeches, a Helena-West Helena Central High School choir performance, and a reading by the winner of the school poetry contest.

Area schools are participating in the poetry contest, which is themed "How to Achieve World Peace." Independent judges will choose the winning entry, which will be read during the program, and featured on an edition of the King Biscuit Time radio show.

The special event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
