| “Today we celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. It is a day to reflect on the work of this great civil rights leader who was also fought for world peace. We can look back with pride on the progress we have made in our nation to guarentee that all people are accorded their civil and human rights and are allowed to live their lives to their full potential. But at the same time, even after we proudly elected our first African American President, we as a society must recognize that the work of Martin Luther King Jr’s life is not complete. We have a long way to go to ensure that real equality is a reality for all people and that we can bring our children up in a world at peace. Let us today take the time to rededicate ourselves to complete his dream.” Please join Clark this morning at 10:00 AM ACC co-sponsors 4th annual MLK Peace Walk, starts at Bethlehem Baptist Church, 2500 MLK Ave, SE, and ends at Covenant Baptist Church, 3845 South Capitol Street, SW. |
