As we recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day, let's honor the legacy of equality and justice that he left and work towards making a difference in our respective communities. Let's be reminded of his meaningful message of racial equity, and strive to bring about positive change.
On this day, we honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and his fight for justice and equality – a fight that continues to this day. Despite the challenges we may face which can lead to frustration and anger, we must remain steadfast in our commitment to eliminating racial disparities and restoring historical disenfranchisement.
The City of Asheville has taken an important step in this direction by creating the Community Reparations Commission, which is empowered to make practical recommendations to rectify the damage caused by systemic racism. We must all recognize the importance of this transformative movement, and pledge to create a more just and equitable world.
Let us honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day by reaffirming our dedication to fairness and equity for all. The work of addressing racial disparity and injustice is a continual process that requires unwavering attention and dedication. This Monday, January 9, 2023, the Reparations Commission held its last meeting to deliver a report in a timely manner, which will be taken into account by the City and other associated community groups in their short and long-term plans.
