Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Series of Community Events

"Nothing will be done until people of good will put their bodies and souls in motion."

- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King is known for his inspiring leadership, passion for equality, and ability to bring communities together. In recognition of Dr. King, the Y will host events to reinforce his message:

• In January, children from our Y Journeys programs studied Dr. King and made creative examples of his work. Their art was displayed in Y Centers and Y Journeys locations from mid-January to mid-February.

• On January 30, 2010, "alumni" of our Druid Hill Family Center Y gathered for a breakfast to fellowship and help kick-off plans for the center's revitalization. See below for photos from the breakfast.

• In late April, the Y is hosting a service project to revitalize the Druid Hill Family Center Y to help improve resources to the families of the Druid Hill/Upton community. Learn more.
