The dream will not die!
That was the theme of Monday’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations in Morristown. The dream must not die because it has not yet been realized, according to speakers at the Morris Interfaith Breakfast and the service that followed at Calvary Baptist Church.
In separate talks, the Rev. Janet Broderick of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and the Rev. Carolyn Ann Knight from Georgia challenged everyone to continue the work for which Martin Luther King Jr. gave his life.
Janet traced Dr. King’s inner journey and urged listeners to look deep within themselves to promote positive change.
Carolyn’s focus was outward, on the myriad problems besetting society. She vowed to tackle them one by one, from the lack of civility in Congress to the disturbing availability of guns that contributed to this month’s shootings in Arizona.
