Today, we honor the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The impact of his actions and words have rippled far and wide, and still affect all of us today. His dedication to Civil Rights work, and relentlessly overcoming every obstacle that stood in his way, is inspirational to us all, and is a lesson we strive to continue teaching through our programming.

We want to take time today to reflect on Dr. King’s life, work, and commitment to not only the Civil Rights Movement, but his commitment to uniting youth, uplifting their voices, and calling for tolerance & non-violent action to end systematic racism, oppression, and economic injustice for all.
