My Speaking Voice
I am speaking for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, January 14, 2016, at the US Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia. The program is sponsored by the Multi-Heritage Committee and Chief Latoya Brown is the Chair.
I speak to military luminaries at the Command, including the Vice Admiral, the Lieutenant Commander, and the Commanding Officer, on the front row, and their guest, a member of the Norfolk, Virginia Historical Society, and a full auditorium of wonderful men and women from varied branches of the US Military on the subject, "The Unfinished Non-Violent Symphony for Freedom."
Before my speech, the atmosphere is charged with friendliness, kindness, and excellence. After I speak, I hear only complimentary words from the Vice Admiral, Lieutenant Commander, and Commanding Officer, and so many other members in the full auditorium. The highest ranking officers, the Multi-Heritage Committee, and all the officers truly make today celebratory and memorable of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Norfolk US Fleet Forces Command.
