In 1965, Martin stood on a stage in New York City, sharing the spotlight with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Though they never exchanged words, the encounter left an indelible mark. Dr. King’s unwavering message of non-violence and hope for what he called The Beloved Community has guided Martin’s journey ever since.
