Something to think about.
On March 14th, we celebrate the 53rd anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. giving his speech, "The Other America". He came here at the invitation of the Human Relations Council of Grosse Pointe.
Reverend Harry Meserve of the Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church had founded this council and was then serving as its first president , thus playing a critical role in bringing Dr. King.
We, the GPUC community, are proud of this legacy of forward thinking in the domain of racial justice; and we continue to reaffirm our commitment bringing about racial equity in our daily lives, community, and the broader world.
Below is the sign that was erected at GP South High School this year to commemorate Dr. King's speech:
