San Francisco Celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr.
"As we ponder Dr. King and the idea of purpose, we can't help but think of "Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You, Rather Ask What Can You Do For Your Country. "Some Men Ask Why. I Ask Why Not." The Kennedy brothers come to mind. With that thought, I can't help but remember the time when every Black home, I ever entered had a picture of the Lord's Supper on the Wall and Photographs of President John Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator and Presidential Hopeful Bobby Kennedy.
Enjoy your Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Weekend. Make a Difference Where You Are and Let it Begin With What is In Your Hand!"
Sincerely,
Jackie Wright
