Greetings, and welcome to a new day for the Arkansas Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission. The foundation, on which my colleagues and I build, is one of great dedication and commitment. However, we shall not rest on our laurels. The days ahead welcome the opportunity for continued progress, and the new administration is excited about what lies ahead. Change does not happen over night...but it can, and will happen.
Your thoughts, ideas, and experience are much needed. We are aggressively working to revitalize old partnerships, while developing new ones. We are also re-energizing our DREAM KEEPERS and expanding the Commission’s presence in the community. We hope you will visit or call our office soon, to learn how you may assist in the effort, to live the dream and make change happen.
