Where We Are
MLK LEGACY
Dr. King's legacy stretches far beyond the civil rights movement. Despite struggles, oppression, ignorance and violence, Dr. King rose above the fray to fight for humanitarian rights for all people. Dr. King and other civil rights activists made a lasting impact utilizing nonviolent protests and a consistent message.
Because of Dr. King, we have made remarkable strides in stepping out of poverty, obtaining better jobs, receiving quality education and fighting for justice. Our push for civil rights is still paramount. However, the strides made by Dr. King and other civil rights activists lead us to the place we are today. But, we still have a ways to go.
