Dear Friends,

I'd like to extend my warmest greetings to everyone
attending the 38 Annual Celebration of Dr. Martin
th
Luther King, Jr. Day hosted by the Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. Commission of Mid-Michigan.

With this year’s theme of uplifting our nation from the
quicksand of racial injustice, I would like to take this time
to recognize all the wonderful work that this peace walk
has accomplished. I am truly thankful for your hard work
and dedication to empowering the Black citizens of our
state. As the largest and longest established event in the
state of Michigan honoring Dr. King, there is no doubt
that this event serves as a resource to countless people
and organizations in Michigan and beyond. You will

surely continue to positively influence those around you
for centuries to come.

Again, I would like to send my best wishes to all those
attending the 38 Annual Celebration of MLK Day.
th
Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable and
memorable event, and may you continue to have success
in every endeavor.

Sincerely,

Gretchen Whitmer
Governor of Michigan
