Throwback Thursday at YOUR Alexandria Campus Library: MLK Day

Photo by William Carter

Monday, January 19th Northern Virginia Community College will be closed to commemorate the life and the work of a great civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Though every state in the union now honors King, the creation and coordination of the holiday itself was a long and hard fought battle that NOVA students had a part in.

This Throwback Thursday YOUR Alexandria Library wants to honor the legacy of King by encouraging our users to join in the Sixth Annual NOVA MLK Day of Service. Find more information about the service event hosted by the Alexandria campus by clicking here: http://blogs.nvcc.edu/novaserves/ .
