SAVE THE CHILDREN PROGRAM:
The Darlington County Cultural Realism Complex, Inc. is totally committed to the dreams of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by sponsoring county-wide activities emphasizing our community’s need to remember the past as we proceed toward the future with anticipation, but also hope. “Committed to the Dream – Save the Children” was the title of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Celebration held on January 17, 2005.
The many ills facing our children in today’s society can no longer be addressed simply by a single entity but wholly by the community. The Darlington County “Committed to the Dream – Save The Children” Program was created for addressing short-comings within our community’s educational, theological, business, and judicial institutions as well as a venue to encourage mentoring and entrepreneurship. The program’s mantra “it takes a community to raise a child” incorporates a partnership with the whole community to ensure this program is a viable success.


The CRC Center was founded by Wilhelmina P. Johnson in 1972. It’s mission was to bridge the gap between the schools and the home. Fastforward 49 years, Mrs. Johnson still makes time to keep Darlington youth informed of the city’s rich history.
