"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today, we reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—a beacon of hope, justice, and compassion. His dream reminds us of the power of love, unity, and inclusion. At ACLD, we honor his vision by working each day to build a world where every person is valued and empowered to thrive.
