King Center celebrates 40th anniversary

A community center in the Quad Cities will celebrate 40 years of service this weekend. The Martin Luther King Center in Rock Island will hold a gala to celebrate its accomplishments and discuss plans for the future.

Executive Director Dwight Ford says the center has expanded over the past 40 years to allow different types of community groups to use the center.
 
Reverend Ford says recently, the center expanded its programs for children and families, such as the Rock Island Boxing Club and the Metropolitan Youth Program.
