Community and faith leaders from across the Miami Valley came together this morning to celebrate and memorialize Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the annual MLK Breakfast hosted by the Centerville-Washington Diversity Council. The keynote speaker this year was Ms. Lynda Blackmon Lowery, a key figure in the civil rights movement and a highly respected activist who marched in pivotal events like “Bloody Sunday” and “Turn Around Tuesday”.
