Dr. Mark Keenum: I also this morning have the distinct honor and privilege of introducing our keynote speaker this morning, the Reverend Neddie Winters. He's president of Mission Mississippi, which works throughout a wide range of events to help bring people together. Would y'all please join me in welcoming Reverend Winters.

Neddie Winters:    The thing about today is a celebration of the life, the labor, and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. Can that just soak in for a few moments? The life, the labor, and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. I want you to celebrate with me.
