"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that!"
-Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Strength to Love, 1963).
Our inaugural commemorative celebration in honor of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was held on Tuesday, January 31, 2023, at the Wojcik Conference Center from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Our keynote speaker was Ms. JoAnne Bland. Ms. Bland was one of the youngest civil rights activists during Dr. King’s era. Ms. Bland shared some of the firsthand encounters and experiences she endured during the civil rights movement. Our program also highlighted strategies and ways to heed Dr. King’s call to activism, equity, inclusion, and social justice.
