I was honored to attend the MLK Jr. celebration at Emmanuel Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon, followed by The Chronicle’s MLK, Jr. Breakfast today. Both gatherings were powerful reminders of Dr. King’s legacy and the responsibility that comes with serving our community.
We were reminded that when taking public office, it is imperative that we never forget where we came from, the struggles that paved the way, and the people that helped us along the way that we are called to serve. Moments like these ground us, inspire us, and challenge us to lead with humility, purpose, and commitment to our community.
