We are incredibly excited to be joined by Dr. Alveda King, niece of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The event will be held on September 29th at Harvest New Beginnings in Oswego, and will include a silent auction, dinner, and a speech from Dr. King. The famous words "I have a dream" are known and celebrated throughout the world. At the time, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had a clear and determined vision for what the future could hold. Firmly planted on the shoulders of great men and women before him, he boldly carried this dream until his death, but his legacy lives on. Dr. Alveda King has a Dream Too. Through her own experience with abortion and God's redemption, Dr. King has become a national leader and advocate within the Pro-Life community. Tickets can be purchased at goo.gl/zPmxLn |
