An essential part of our horizon and understanding, Dr. King was here to give us hope and build our dignity.

​

In a matter of words, his story lifts us as we commemorate him Each Year.  And Each Year, he is established as outstanding to many, he is remembered as being respectful to a larger group, but NOT confusing to many.  He understood our legacy and what we wanted to bring to our own people.

​

There are still not enough words that can describe Dr. King.  He was an Apostle, full of charisma, but always understood our worth (as a people).
