Living the Dream: Let Freedom Ring for Greater Access for Quality Education and Better Health Conditions for All!"

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968

"In our struggles, if we are to bring about the kind of changes that will cause the world to stand up and take notice, we must be committed. There is so much more work that needs to be done. It is a big job, but there is no one better to do it than those who live here. We could show the world how it should be done and how to do it with dignity."
— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
