"Understandably, many around the country are concerned and bothered by the characterization of this day as Great Americans Day. However, this should not erase and overshadow the support and works the city administrators and employees have given to ensure the success if the MLK coastwide celebration," said Allytra Nunley Perryman, co-chair of the Coastwide Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee. "It's my understanding that the city leaders have acted swiftly and are taking the necessary steps to ensure this mistake is corrected, and we appreciate it."
