Dallas Raindrop Turkish House Executives have attended to a program which was organized by TBAAL (The Black Academy of Arts and Letters) to remember and honor Martin Luther King Day at Meyerson Symphony Center. Dr. Martin Luther King devoted his life’s work to causes of equality and social justice. He taught that through nonviolence and service to one another, problems such as hunger and homelessness, prejudice and discrimination can be overcome.
