History In The Making
The St. James MLK Classic is more than a basketball tournament. In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we integrate court insights with worldly inspiration from real-life community leaders.
Teams will travel to Washington D.C for a private tour of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, punctuated by visiting the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. Back at The St. James, motivational speakers impart life lessons the players will not soon forget.
