South Quadrant

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.

“As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back…”

Binger Laura Arber, has been tasked to organize the Dayton community to march and observe Martin Luther King’s message Monday, January 19, 2009. Laura, South Quadrant Chair, is responsible for organizing one of the four groups who will march through the city and converge on Courthouse Square Downtown Dayton. Read more of the detailed message describing the event at David Bowman’s blog, who is also helping to promote the rally.

As a way to generate awareness for one of our own, we ask that you too diversify and celebrate in a walk of freedom. Take part in any events leading up to or during the march and pledge that you will march forward in all facets of your life.
