And this type of dialogue can only bring about a better outcome."

Upon the occasion of Martin Luther King Jr. Day coming up on Monday, the MLK Jr. Human Rights Commission would like to invite community members to reflect on the meaning of the commemoration of Dr. King’s legacy as well as to invite you to participate in the many community events that will be taking place in his honor.
