This month, the country celebrates the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

As the country pauses to honor Dr. King, we must remember that this day is much more than a federal holiday in the middle of winter. It is a day to examine our conscience individually – as a nation and as a Church – and to remember that the dream of Dr. King remains unfinished. His dream of a society shaped by justice, dignity and love continues to challenge us as the wounds of racism remain evident in our communities, institutions and hearts.
