Y.A.B. Takes On M.L.K!

We believe Dr. King would be proud to see how this generation of youth is engaged and involved.

The National Youth Advisory Board made service a priority this MLK Day. Members volunteered their time at the 31st Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Breakfast sponsored by the Selma Chapter of The Links Incorporated. The annual event commemorates the life of Dr. King and raises funds to support youth scholarships for local YAB students. This year’s breakfast, themed Black KARE, focused on kidney awareness, resources, and education.

Youth Advisory Board members served breakfast and helped prepare the event for attendees. Members received several invitations including:

• A visit to the University of Alabama School of Law by Professor Bryan Fair, JD
• A sit-in on court trials from DA Robert Turner, Jr.
• A trip to the Selma City Council Chambers by President Billy Young, who is also the Assistant Attorney General
• A reminder of a pending tour of The Hill in Montgomery by Senator Robert Stewart

Kudos to the up and coming generation of foot soldiers who are moving the needle from being the next generation to be generation now!
