It was an emotional celebration that paid respect and homage to one of the nation’s most powerful figures, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., at the Valley Stream Presbyterian Church on Jan. 15.
Adults and children alike were signing and dancing, and also took time to reflect on King’s dream of love and integration that not only touched their souls, but stirred the emotions of the human race.
This year’s guest preacher was Rev. Cornell William Brooks, former president and CEO of the NAACP and a visiting professor of social ethics, law and justice movements at Boston University’s schools of law and theology. Brooks is also a regular contributor to CNN.
