The Miss MLK Scholarship Pageant is more than a competition—it is a platform for young women to develop leadership skills, engage in community service, and inspire others through the values of unity and empowerment.
This year’s contestants showcased their talents, answered thought-provoking questions, and exemplified the essence of Dr. King’s dream.
"These remarkable young women represent the future of our community," said Yevette McCall from the Bulloch County NAACP. "Through their dedication to excellence, service, and advocacy, they will continue to uplift and empower those around them."
Throughout the year, the newly crowned Miss MLK Court will engage in various community initiatives, mentorship programs, and leadership opportunities, ensuring that Dr. King's vision of equality and justice remains at the forefront of their mission.
