Going back to the first gathering around the flagpole at Spartanburg City Hall over three decades ago, Spartanburg’s citizens have long recognized that Dr. King’s mission lives on in the people of our community and their commitment to a more just and equitable world. Today, the importance of that mission is as evident as it has ever been. In the week leading up the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, the City of Spartanburg invites community members to participate in Unity Week, a week of events and opportunities that honor Dr. King's legacy.
