MLK Day

Flint junior Lashauna Garrett attended the Martin Luther King Jr. Day events on the Central Michigan University campus Jan. 16.

Garrett attended the Peace Brunch, march and candlelight vigil. She was required to go for her scholarship, but said Dr. King has been part of her life since she was a child a she has always been involved in the holiday's events.

"Without Dr. King, I don't know where I'd be today," she said. "I don't know how far me as a African American would have come. He took a lot of things, and went through a lot of struggles ... to make it possible for African Americans today. And not only African Americans, but all Americans. He fought for equality in all aspects."

She said she was out there to promote equality and continue the efforts of Dr. King.

"I would say (the day) inspires others to get involved," said Garrett, "and be thankful for what he has done for society and all individuals in every aspect."
