Virginia Union University has canceled an event that planned to honor President Trump on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Urban Revitalization Coalition (URC) had been planning to host an event at the university’s Live and Learning Center on Jan. 20.

The flyer posted on social media also touted a $30,000 cash giveaway in what looks like an attempt to purchase the support of African American voters. []
