Jan. 18 Taking ownership of the problems facing society today is crucial in honoring and building upon the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. s legacy, Stanislaus County NAACP president Wendy Byrd said Monday.
Speaking at an interfaith commemoration event hosted virtually by the Revival Center in Modesto to honor the late civil rights leader, Byrd emphasized that King did his job, and he did a good job, but that it now falls to everyone in the community to carry on the work he set in motion. King was instrumental in the civil rights movement, gaining national and international recognition for his emphasis on nonviolence and civil disobedience.
