MLK supporters put York on notice


York County may be the next South Carolina county to get heat for its lack of a paid holiday honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Thousands of people marched Saturday to push Greenville County Council to approve a holiday there, now the National Action Network is calling for a once-a-month boycott of York County starting today.

People are being asked not to buy food or gasoline in York County one Monday a month.

Shelton J. Boyd, executive director of the Charlotte, N.C., chapter of the network, said today's march and boycott are about awareness. He expects about 30 people to attend the event.

"Imagine where this country would be today if there wasn't a Dr. King," Boyd said.
