MLK Breakfast Community Impact and Leadership Recognition Awards

This year, as we gather for the annual MLK Breakfast, we celebrate Dr. King's enduring legacy and answer his call to action: "Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in."  Inspired by these powerful words from Dr. King's 1959 address to the Youth March for Integrated Schools, our event will focus on how we can all contribute to continuing his legacy of service, justice, and equality. Do you know someone who embodies Dr. King's spirit and is making a difference in our community? Nominate someone by December 5th for the Community Impact and Leadership Recognition Awards!
