The Newark YMCA held its annual MLK day of service breakfast honoring the late Civil Rights leader.

Local and federal officials in attendance say Dr. King’s message continues to ring true to this day.

“We are one, and we have to fight this injustice and inequality so that everyone has an opportunity to succeed in life.”

Michael Bright president and CEO of the Newark YMCA, says Dr. King’s legacy needs to be kept alive now more than ever.
