*** Finally, this past three-day weekend, I attended four events which were held to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Three of the events were in the 57th Assembly District. This year is special in that it's the 25th Anniversary of his national holiday. In the spirit of Dr. King, let's remember his words, "Men of vision, don't need wings to soar" and that he was a Drum Major for Justice.
