As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK#BelovedCommunity
Happy MLK Day Everyone! As we remember the amazing life of Dr. King today, let’s also reflect on the children that are inspired by his legacy everyday to strive for a better future! Amazing work by Connor who won the Nashville MLK Day Design Contest.
