“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” — Martin Luther King Jr.
As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., let’s continue to build a more unified and inclusive future together, where people can realize their dreams no matter their differences. Let’s “stick with love," because “hate is too great a burden to bear” — and has no place within our diverse community. On this day, we reflect on history and all the ways we can continue to move forward from here.
