Remember

I can’t remember the first time someone told me about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., yet most of my childhood memories have Dr. King’s likeness in the backdrop. Not far away from our family photos hung a color,  8 x 10 photo of  Dr. King.  Those that I looked up to spoke of Dr. King with a certain reverence,  pride & hope and their stories of unity left me feeling a profound sense of  love and appreciation for Dr. King’s leadership.

Celebrate

My parents named me after Dr. King’s wife, Coretta Scott King,which is how their celebration of  Dr. King’s life began for me. I never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. King, but I deeply respect  her grace and how she kept Dr. King’s legacy alive.

Act

I hope more people take the time to continue learning about Dr. Martin Luther King beyond the Martin Luther King Holiday. The best place to start  learning about Dr. King is at the The King Center or check out more about Dr. King’s legacy at The King Institute at Stanford University.

The crisis in Haiti has given us an opportunity to help our Haitian brothers and sisters overcome this horrific earthquake. An opportunity, I like to believe Dr. King would embrace. Shine Brightly. Serve.
