January 15, 2018

Dozens turned out in Century Monday to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Century-Flomaton Improvement Association held their annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration at the Century Ag Building Monday.

Songs, essays and speeches honored King’s memory during the program, which was themed “Keep the Dream Alive”.

“If we can dream it, with the Lord’s help we can achieve it,” guest speaker Pastor Lloyd A. Hicks told the assembly. Hicks was employed by the Alabama Department of Corrections for 28 years and received his first pastoral appointment to Westley Chapel CME Church in Century. He is now employed as a staff chaplain at Brookwood Princeton Medical System in Birmingham and pastors Unity CME Church in Bessemer, AL.

“This is not a black thing; this is not a white thing. This is a God thing,” he said. “If you can dream, and you have the will of the Lord, you can achieve.”
