Never Forget. Never Falter. The words of Dr. King live on. Embrace them for all eternity.

But there was nothing average about this Georgia native. He was remarkably charismatic, with the wisdom of a prophet, and the voice of a hollow drum reverberating in the Congo.
King was on the surface, an influential minister who called on love and vindication to quench the raging fire of racial discrimination. In a span of 13 years from (1955-1968), he boldly marched his people into the Promise Land, as did Moses with the Israelites.

Thus, upon his shoulders, we hoisted our hopes and dreams, and he never complained. Often the ghost of uncertainty haunted him with relentless zeal, still he held onto God’s hands, and with us as his disciples, he was victorious.
