This year marks four decades of celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s enduring legacy of service and compassion at the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA's annual Human Dignity Award breakfast.
Keeping Dr. King's Vision Alive
"Peace, equality, and especially justice is something we're facing today," Stanford said. The struggle Dr. King championed continues, making his message more relevant than ever.
Anna Arancibia, Executive Director of the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA, emphasized the importance of mentorship in continuing Dr. King's work.
"It's important because we have mentors like Dee Stanford, who has been serving since 1999 as our chair... ensuring that we have next leaders that understand the vision and the passion of Doctor King," Arancibia said.
Stanford's nearly three decades of commitment exemplifies the servant leadership Dr. King embodied, inspiring the next generation of change makers.
