The Columbia Values Diversity Celebration is an inspirational community tradition that brings people together at the beginning of each New Year to celebrate the broad diversity that strengthens our city. On Thursday, January 17, 2013 over 1,100 people will share breakfast together while commemorating the life and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and celebrating the value we place on providing equal opportunity for all people.
