Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

Several hundred were on hand Friday for City of Anderson's Mayor Terence Roberts' annual “Mayor’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast” at the Civic Center of Anderson. This year will feature Kassy Alia Ray, the founder and CEO of Serve & Connect, a nonprofit organization focused on fostering positive change through sustainable police-community partnerships, as keynote speaker.

“Dr. King believed in a world free from hunger and poverty, we must keep marching on until that dream comes true,” said Roberts. “We are glad to have Dr. Alia as our keynote speaker at this annual event honoring the legacy of Dr. King.”

The annual "Trailblazer Award" will awarded to AnMed Vice President Juana Slade.
