The 28th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Virtual Unity Breakfast was not a packed event at Wallace Community College Selma, as it usually is on MLK’s birthday.
This year, due to the COVID pandemic, sponsor Selma Chapter of The Links Inc. held a panel discussion called “Unity Through the Pandemic – Selma’s Rise to Power” virtually through Facebook live to examine dreams and power and what it means to be Black in the 21st century.
Panelists were Sen. Malika Fortier; Black Voters Matter Cofounder Cliff Albright; civil rights attorney April Albright; Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Codirector Lydia Chatmon; Total Management Experts CEO Jimmie Coleman III; and management consultant Krystal Allen. Attorney Vernetta Perkins moderated the discussion.
