The holiday that bears the name – and more importantly honors the legacy – of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has been slowly evolving over the past few years.
Instead of a day of talking about King’s ideals, it has become more of an opportunity to put those beliefs into practice.
It’s a day on, not a day off.
I will be in Chester this afternoon to join a group that is putting King’s words into action.
Brothers of Concern is holding a kickoff event for a program that is direly needed in the city.
They call it ‘Real Men Read.’
It is a grass roots push to improve reading skills among men in the city.
This newspaper is going to partner with them to push the program.
A billboard will soon loom over the city on I-95 to spread the word. I’m also going to use the pages of the newspaper as well as DelcoTimes.com to get the message out.
Brothers of Concern are a group of local men who are tired of talking about the problems in Chester and are taking action. They know better than most all about the problems inherent on Chester’s streets. Many of them have experienced them first hand.
Join us today at 1 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church, 9th and Kerlin streets, for a program that will help the city in some many ways.
