Ninety-four years after his birth on Jan. 15, 1929, and nearly 60 years after his historic “I Have a Dream” speech, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s stirring words and writings remain as relevant and inspiring today as they were when he lived.

Seniors, as you honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. for the last time in High School, strive for understanding, empathy, and unity. Be the generation that transcends barriers, fosters dialogue, and builds bridges. Embrace diversity, embody compassion, and contribute to a world where differences are celebrated, not divided.
