Earlier this month Joe wrote a post about my involvement in the Dayton Martin Luther King Celebration. The walk was on Monday (Jan 19) and it was a great day and celebration.
My day started at the MLK Kettering and Oakwood Breakfast. After an inspiring speech and award winning artwork, it was off to the March/Rally. The weather was on our side cold but sunny.
The South quadrants’ marches were led by a local drum corps, and at the rally we heard Dr. King’s I have a Dream Speech read by all faiths.
Thank you to everyone who came out – the March was successful because of your involvement. Check out David Bowman’s post for a great video from the march/rally.

My young children (9, 7 & 4 yrs) participated in this Rally. I can truly say that all the hard work was worth it; they were very excited about the event. They also now have a greater understanding of what Martin Luther King stood for. Thank you for getting us involved.
