Today, the Dr. King Legacy Preservation Society accepted the Proclamations from both the El Paso County, Colorado Board of Commissioners, and the Colorado Springs City Council recognizing Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Say.
Today, the Dr. King Legacy Preservation Society was honored to accept Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Proclamations from El Paso County and the Colorado Springs City Council.
These proclamations are more than ceremonial—they are a call to action. They remind us that hatred, racism, and bigotry have no place in our society, and that each of us has a responsibility to stand for justice, equity, and human dignity.
As we reflect on Dr. King’s legacy, we recommit ourselves to the work of unity, service, and nonviolence—building a future rooted in love and understanding.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Thank you to our local leaders for honoring Dr. King’s legacy and for standing with us in the ongoing pursuit of a more just and united community.
