The Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. Day program held at the R. W. Johnson Auditorium, in Franklinton, was simply outstanding. The theme for this memorable event was: “It Starts with Me” (Jeremiah 29:11). Both young black men and women were participants in a very big way, with relevant speaking and singing in the “King Celebration Choir”. Elder Alvin Partman, Sr. was the speaker. He reminded those present that when God speaks the word it’s a guarantee. It will happen. This Birthday Celebration for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was well attended and beautifully presented.

*Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes:
**"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."**
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."***
