The goal of the Freedom Breakfast and March is to reflect the work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and give thought as to how we as a community are continuing his legacy. This year's march will be dedicated #UNITY. This year we want to build a stronger and united community to face the challenges our community may go through. In the words of Germany Kent, “Reach out and help others. If you have the power to make someone happy, do it. Be a vessel, be the change, be the difference, or be the inspiration. Shine your light as an example. The world needs more of that.”
The theme this year, #UNITY. A call to action and an invitation to participate together - to be in solidarity regardless of our background, creed or experience. It elicits a unified human response - a collective action - that allows a voice to be stronger than one.
