Dear Advocates, Friends and Community Leaders,
On behalf of Secretary of State Tahesha Way and the New Jersey Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Commission, we would like to share with you our Virtual Youth Conference “Youth, We Hear You!”, which will be on Monday, January 18, 2021, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM EST.
Through panels, workshops, and networking, the virtual conference will highlight the life and legacy of Dr. King in these challenging times, through sessions on “Justice Matters,” “Health Equity Matters,” and “How to Live Your Ideals through Service and Public Policy.” Secretary of State Tahesha Way will lead a session on “Dr. King’s Global Impact” with the Consul-General of India and Ambassador from Ghana, nations that Dr. King visited. Young people will service as Conference Moderators and panelists.
