We would like to thank everyone who came out and supported the 40th Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration. We had a successful program. Thank you to all our donors, the community, and every one who played a part in making this program a success. We are elated to be presented with the key of Ripley by Mayor Grisham. We are excited about this year 2026, and the great things we will accomplish! 📸: Deh Weh Productions

We would like to send our condolences to the family of Ms. Martha Gray! She has left a lasting impact within our community and has educated many generations of students. She also served on the Tippah County MLK Dream Team for several years and has served as the organization's president. Most importantly, she was a woman of faith and would also share about her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We honor the life and legacy of a life well lived.

We ask that you please join Ripley Second Baptist Church family and the Community as we mourn the loss of our beloved Sister Martha “Tut” Gray. She touched many lives through her kindness and faith, and she will be deeply missed.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4

The Tippah County MLK Dream Team would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season! Remember that Jesus is the reason for the season! We pray you be encouraged and comforted during this time. Here is a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Last Christmas Sermon" in December 1967:

"...So let us this morning think anew on the meaning of that Christmas hope: 'Peace on Earth, Good Will toward Men.'"
