LET US BE CHANGE AGENTS ICYMI

The Annual Mlk Breakfast Stirred Guests Into Action

It’s a venerable annual tradition for Black New Mexicans to come together for the Dr. King Commemorative Celebration. Organized by the Grant Chapel AME Church, the breakfast was super charged this year as its speakers encouraged us all to seek justice, equity, and community. Keynote speaker Dr. Karissa Culbreath’s sermon delivered a rallying cry of solidarity and perseverance. Rep. Pamelya Herndon was pleased with this year’s sold-out event, saying, “Every person should aspire to be the change agent Dr. Culbreath described. She inspired me to remember not to dwell on problems, but to focus on a plan that leads to change.”

Grant Chapel’s Vision ABQ scholarships were given out to students who briefly joined Mayor Tim Keller, Judge Shammara Henderson,
