The Raleigh King Committee is on the cutting edge of advocacy and promotion of the ideals which Dr. King espoused. Membership is open to all who value and are willing to work to preserve these values. The Raleigh King Committee relies on the goodwill and support of those in the community who recognize the value of the King Holiday. The Raleigh King Committee was founded and chartered by businessman and community activist Bruce E. Lightner and he served as the group's leader since it's inception. The King Committee is also guided by the capable leadership of The Reverend Dr. Dumas A. Harshaw, Jr. who has served as Co-Chair since 1996.
