MLK Day Celebration

Join us for a virtual MLK Celebration to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The keynote speaker will be Wayne Clinton.

Wayne Clinton is a long-time Ames resident, retired teacher and coach, and former member of the Story County Board of Supervisors. Clinton, who is an Iowa African American Hall of Fame inductee and also serves on the Ames Human Relations Commission, will share the impact MLK has had on his work and life. When Wayne speaks we listen and we hope you will too.
