This year’s theme is THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES: MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER. In today’s tumultuous climate, there’s no better time than now, to reiterate the importance of his teachings and remind ourselves of the roadmap he created for all people. His divinely inspired wisdom and sacrifice struck down doors of racism, segregation and exclusion. As people, we must strive to maintain our unalienable freedoms, rights for ourselves and others, no matter their race, color or creed. For us to prosper as a community, we must celebrate, embrace and promote unity.
