On this day, we honor the extraordinary legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a visionary leader who dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice, equality, and the dream of a harmonious society. Dr. King's powerful words and unwavering commitment to nonviolent activism played a pivotal role in the American civil rights movement, leaving an indelible mark on the fight against racial injustice.

His dream, articulated in the historic "I Have a Dream" speech, resonates through the corridors of time, inspiring generations to strive for a world where individuals are judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Martin Luther King Jr. remains a symbol of courage, resilience, and the transformative power of love.

As we celebrate his legacy, let us reflect on the progress made and acknowledge the work that still lies ahead. May we be inspired to continue the journey towards a society where justice, equality, and compassion prevail. Let Martin Luther King Jr.'s enduring words and deeds be a guiding light as we navigate the path towards a more inclusive and equitable world for all.

In Solidarity~ April ❤️

Personians Against Injustices and Racism - PAIR was formed to combat ALL forms of injustice and racism within Person County. Kicking in doors for misdemeanor possession charges that are subsequently dropped is a huge waste of taxpayer dollars and the limited resources the city of Roxboro and Person County already have. It also unnecessarily puts citizens and officers lives at risk for a crime that isn’t a crime a short 15 minute drive away to the state border of Virginia. It’s past time for NC legislative bodies to do what so many states have already done fully decriminalize and make legal possession of cannabis for the multiple medical benefits that its users experience. This was an unforced error by the RPD and should be fully investigated and learned from.

At a Thursday afternoon press conference, a Roxboro woman and her Durham attorney alleged the Roxboro Police Department improperly seized her dog and executed a “SWAT-style raid” on her home

Things come full circle eventually. What an incredible circumstance.

Everything down to the nails was made by the slaves. There were least 58 on the 2,500 acre plantation at one time.
