Moravian College hosted a memorial breakfast Jan. 19 honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with more than 50 people in attendance. Joining Moravian staff and students were fifth graders from the nearby William Penn ES, principal Nathan Stannard teachers and some parents.

William Penn students had been studying Dr. King and the 14 fifth-graders present each gave a presentation covering the highlights of his life and civil rights activities. Stannard said the college and William Penn have partnered through the community schools program with college students assisting with after-school programs and mentoring. William Penn students also visit the Moravian campus under the College Connect Program, where they learn what it's like to be a college student.

The Rev. Gregory J. Edwards, senior pastor of the Resurrected Life Community Church, was keynote speaker. Edwards posed Dr. King's question, "What have you done for others lately?" offering four thoughts in response.

"Learn how to love each other; just because someone is different doesn't mean they are deficient; understand that contact with difference doesn't make community; and take seriously the call to serve," Edwards stressed.
