Get Involved in our Largest Volunteer Event!
Annually during the week of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, several hundred Macomb Community College faculty, staff, and students come together, volunteering on behalf of their community. Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service and humanitarian rights has become a college tradition, and we are excited to continue this tradition with activities organized by Student Life and Leadership.

Harlem Hopscotch Discussion and Activity:
12-1pm, C101, Center Campus
Initially, Maya Angelou’s playful words bring pleasant memories to mind for the listener once fond of the childhood game. However, Harlem Hopscotch deserves deeper reflections as the bitter poem serves as a metaphor for the inequalities and oppression facing many Americans. MMII presents a discussion and engaging activities on this symbolism-rich story of struggle and perseverance.
