Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.
Congratulations to our Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl Champions, the Texas State Bobcats! This marks the Bobcats’ 3rd bowl win in the past 3 years, Eat ‘Em Up, Cats!
