The theme for the event, “A Constant Heart in a Changing World,” was the second event of its kind at the facility honoring the legacy of King. The event also included an art contest for Springfield High School students.
“The students’ volunteer work at the facility and their artwork reflect one facet of the message presented by Martin Luther King,” said Mary Beth Berda, organizer of the event.
The Springfield High School Choir also performed at the celebration.
