Martin Luther King, Jr. event rescheduled

Organizers have rescheduled the Martin Luther King, Jr. Prayer and Scholarship Breakfast at the Thad Cochran Center on Southern Miss' main Hattiesburg campus. The event was originally scheduled for January 17th -- but was cancelled due to growing COVID-19 concerns.

"Community Awards and Student Scholarships will be presented," Dr. Eddie Holloway tells FOX23. Attendees are requested to mask up, Dr. Holloway added.
