An incredible evening honoring legacy, leadership, and service at the MLK 2nd Annual Gala. Truly grateful to recognize Sylvester Little and Latha Speed as this year’s King and Queen, serving as our Grand Marshals. Two individuals who represent strength, grace, and a deep commitment to community.
A sincere thank you to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commission of Lakeland and everyone who worked tirelessly to make this night so meaningful. Deep appreciation to all of the sponsors whose support makes this celebration and the MLK Parade possible:
Bethel Gospel Tabernacle
New Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church
Tiger Contracting
Greater Faith Christian Center Church
City of Lakeland, FL – Government
McKenzie Family
This was more than a gala. It was a reminder of the responsibility we share to carry the legacy forward through action, unity, and service. I am grateful to stand alongside so many dedicated leaders and supporters in our community.
