Please join us for the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Breakfast, MON JAN 21, the nation’s longest-running event to honor the legacy of Dr. King.  This year’s theme is “Pledge to Carry On King’s Work.”  Dr. King advocated for a number of initiatives to help further diversity and inclusion on many levels. We recognize diversity and inclusion efforts, and celebrate the extraordinary community contributions with the following award recipients: Byron Rushing, True Compass Award, Drum Major Awards to Linda Dorcena Forry, Suffolk and Myechia Minter-Jordan, Dimmock, as well as the MLK Corporate Legacy Award to Liberty Mutual.
