Elissa Slotkin Instagram – One of my favorite traditions: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commission of Mid-Michigan’s Day of Celebration.
Every year, no matter what’s going on in the world, I look around this packed room of people who come from all over and span every demographic and I know that being hopeful and committed to change is Dr. King’s legacy.
This year’s theme was a powerful quote from former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall that we would all do well to keep top of mind: “The measure of a country’s greatness is its ability to retain compassion in times of crisis.”
We have no shortage of crises – at home and abroad – but I remain confident that we can work together to find solutions, and do so in a way that keeps our shared humanity in the forefront. | Posted on 16/Jan/2024 06:10:12
