We lost a giant: Dr. Clarence B. Jones, the brilliant mind behind Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech and his trusted advisor. When I asked how Dr. King might view today's youth violence, Dr. Jones replied, 'He would put his head in his arms, and he would just weep.' Let's honor his legacy by keeping the message of peace and justice alive.

Martin Luther King’s legacy lives on through Palmyra graduate Dr. Clarence V. Jones When asked what MLK would think of today’s gun violence, Jones said: “He would put his head in his arms, and he would just weep.”

🌟 Navigating the Pivot! 🎤 When media coverage at our press conference didn’t materialize as planned, we had a solid backup strategy ready. I stepped in to ensure our messaging was still delivered by successfully booking my principal on WCNC in Charlotte and securing another station as well! 🙌

This experience highlights the importance of cultivating strong media relationships. A big thank you to Corey Epps and Vanessa Ruffes for your support! 🫶
