MLK remembered in Conn. event

An event at a Connecticut High School last week celebrated the life and legacy of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.  A Newtown woman was the keynote speaker.  Nicole Hockley, whose son Dylan was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary, quoted Dr King: "hate can not drive out hate, only love can do that".

 

She spoke about transforming hardship into a pathway for love.  She quoted King in saying "life's most persistent and urgent question is--what are you doing for others?".  She said when filled with love, people are a force that can change anything.  Her role in life was forever changed on 12-14. Hockley said she took her experience and transformed it into something to benefit others. 

 

The event last week focused on Dr King's core values of courage, compassion, integrity, inspiration and vision.

 

In 1993, the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday was observed in all 50 states for the first time.
