The inaugural Hardin County Talks will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 13, at Payne Chapel AME Church, 437 N. Market St. In Kenton. The Talks are the result of discussions at Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day programs the past two years.
The first Talk will discuss the ongoing relevance of Civil Rights in Hardin County, past, present, and future. Sara Brown, long time Kenton resident and community activist, will share her experiences.
The Talks will have a town hall feel and will be appropriate for people of all ages, excellent for families to attend, and are intended to allow the community to come together to grow Hardin County and improve communications.
