MLK Equality Trail Meeting. Area residents are invited to the Martin Luther King Center from 5-7 p.m. Monday, April 29, to discuss an ongoing project aiming to enrich the MLK Equality Trail within the city of Jackson. Project team members – including representatives from the Ella Sharp Museum, Consumers Energy, Jackson District Library, Jackson churches, and more – are asking local residents to take part in the community meeting Monday evening. The section of the trail set for updating runs from New Leaf Park on Fourth Street to the MLK Center located at 1107 Adrian St, and is roughly three miles long. Ultimately, the group would like to create a “walking museum” along the trail that features African American history, whether that’s local history, national history, something in between, or all of the above. The MLK Equality Trail Project Team’s mission is to create a world-class experience that inspires hope and opportunity within the Jackson Community.
Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser. Chelsea Area Historical Society & Museum will be hosting the annual Lynda Collins Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser & Silent Auction at the Chelsea Depot on Monday, April 29th from 4:30-8:00pm.

Spaghetti dinner with dessert tickets are $10/adult and $5 for children 13 and under. Tickets may be purchased the night of the event at the Chelsea Depot starting at 4:30.
