  1. "I really enjoyed participating in this event. The organizers made sure that things ran smoothly and that there were plenty of hands to help.I enjoyed conducting my workshop with enthusiatic youths who appreciated the new experience. Damian and his mother were glad to be there for him to give Dr. King's speech and I hope that we'll be involved again in next year's celebration! Big thanks Mrs. Sondi Jackson, to the commitee and to Mrs. Waltrina Mullins who introduced me to the group!"
