Air Force base apologizes for Martin Luther King, Jr ‘fun shoot’ fliers, renames event [Low, 360p]
- 9 years ago
US Air Force officials in Georgia are “deeply sorry” for distributing flyers promoting a “Martin Luther King Jr. Fun Shoot” and have removed them. The January 18 event is still listed on the airbase’s website, though it omits the civil rights leader’s name.“It was an honest mistake,” Robins Air Force Base spokesman Roland Leach said in a press release. Fliers advertising the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day event were plastered around the base in Warner Robins, Georgia until officials apologized and removed them on Friday.
