Yesterday, our community gathered to honor and reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., beginning our celebration by watching his powerful and timeless “I Have a Dream” speech. It set a meaningful tone of reflection, hope, and purpose for the day.
We were deeply privileged to hear from one of our residents, Mr. William Minter, who shared personal memories of Dr. King. Mr. Minter was not only a personal friend, but also attended church under Dr. King’s pastoral leadership. He also shared that his wife worked closely with Dr. King, helping to write some of his speeches, and was a dear friend of Mrs. Coretta Scott King as well.
Listening to these firsthand stories reminded us that history is not only found in books, but also lives within the people among us. We are incredibly grateful to Mr. Minter for trusting us with these memories and for allowing us to learn from his life experiences.
We concluded our time together by joining voices and hearts in singing “God Bless America,” a moment of unity, reflection, and hope that beautifully captured the spirit of the day.
May we continue to honor Dr. King’s legacy through compassion, understanding, and love for one another. 💙
