MLK Day - 2023

Mersha — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 18:25:38 GMT

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man who stood up for those who couldn't always stand up for themselves. A man who believed every American should have a seat at the table and a valued voice in our society. We strive to honor his legacy and continue his vision. (Photo credit: Baltimore Sun)

What an incredible soul. Such a huge loss- His most famous quote of course, as We remember you today sir:
" I have a dream my little children will one day be judged, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

Martin Luther King, Jr., was endowed with the gifts of charisma, wisdom and an inspired vision for the future that all truly great leaders share.

He was an exceptional and fascinating man, an iconoclast who tried to make the world better for those who had been left behind for generations. Dr. King was one for the ages.
