(January 4, 2022 10:52 AM) Jackson College announced today the postponement of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration to the spring. Jackson College said they have made the difficult decision due to the increased cases of Covid throughout Jackson County.

The annual celebration had been scheduled for Jan. 15, 2022. Tickets will be honored for the upcoming spring event; those who cannot make the spring event, refunds will be given.
