Thank you Mayor Cherelle L. Parker for your leadership as we embraced Dr. King's legacy of social justice through citizen action in the 31st annual Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service. Great to have our friend, Governor Josh Shapiro, who joined you assembling Book Arks, which were on their way in the afternoon to their new homes @ organizations in underserved Philadelphia communities. To our forty sponsors, led by Independence Blue Cross, our co-chairs, a tremendous host, Temple University and President John Fry, and to more than 100,000 strong throughout the region, who celebrated Dr. King in so many initiatives, which for so many serves as a springboard to ongoing community involvement. .org .org
