Acworth held its eighth annual MLK Day celebration Jan. 18. Festivities began with a unity walk, followed by a ceremony at the Acworth Community Center featuring speaker Earnest Davis, and a presentation by the Acworth Achievers Mentoring and After School Program. After the program, the Acworth Achievers were not able to host their usual community day of service. Instead, members of the community were encouraged to spend the remainder of the day “as a day on, not a day off,” and volunteer time or resources to help improve the community.
