MLK Sanford Celebration Steering Committee, Inc. The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Steering Committee was established in 1987. Celebration Steering Committee, Inc. A. McClanahan, Joy Y. Thomas, Jr.

is proud to honor Dr. King each year by making sure we are doing our part to keep the dream alive. We believe keeping the dream alive begins with the person you see in the mirror…challenge that person to take a moral inventory of themselves to ensure that they are thinking about what’s best for mankind. This self-reflection should compel the individual to go into their communities, workplaces, an

d worship centers to ask questions and create meaningful dialog with those around them. Conversations such as these allow us to be open and honest about our differences, help us to better understand each other and ultimately allow us to know that we have more in common than the differences which divide us. Celebration Steering Committee was established in 1987 by Mayor Bettye D. Smith and Sanford City Commissioners, Herbert Eckstein, A. Mercer, and Robert B.
