It is always an honor to recognize exceptional public servants I’m grateful to serve with. Our 2024 Dispatcher of the Year, Sonia Del Castillo represents the best of the best. Without dispatchers, we literally cannot do our jobs. They're the 1st first responders! Congratulations!

With the passing of Reverend/Dr. Cecil “Chip” Murray, the retired, beloved pastor of L.A.’s First AME Church & civil rights icon, we lost a true Spiritual Servant Leader who’s influence will benefit generations. I thank you for your mentorship.

Rest in Peace & Power my friend.

April 3, 1968
56 years ago today
This speech given in Memphis on the night before he was assassinated was delivered without notes & Dr. King, feeling sick had not planned to speak, but he summoned the strength to deliver this powerful speech in support of striking Workers. #MLK

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

APRIL 3, 1968 as we reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. we can admire that on his very last days he was still fighting the good fight of faith in justice for all. #Nonviolence365 #MLK
