MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Malcolm A. Punter, EdD, MBA
Tomorrow, we will celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His is a legacy of activism, faith, leadership and change. Dr. King represented the best and the brightest that America has to offer. As we stand face-to-face with a crisis in leadership in America, punctuated domestic white terrorism, we can look to his example for hope and inspiration.
It is the work of this great man, and many men and women like him, that laid the foundation for HCCI. We work every day to uphold his legacy, to establish Beloved Communities that are guided by love, respect and inclusion where all people can be civically engaged, empowered and thrive. According to Dr. King:
"In the Beloved Community, poverty, hunger and homelessness will not be tolerated because international standards of human decency will not allow it. Racism and all forms of discrimination, bigotry and prejudice will be replaced by an all-inclusive spirit of sisterhood and brotherhood.” -- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
You can join our efforts to improve lives by taking advantage of the programs we offer, spreading the word, or contributing you time, talent or treasure. Also, please check below, to view our SAVE Program tribute to Dr. King. And remember ...

Martin's Song
Written by Michael Barker (pictured)
|
Moments shared... some mournful tears
as every child will "shine"
rivers bend... but roads don't end
love so sweet... sublime
and yes... life's gone
but not the dream
no pain shall last forever
death is but a chance to live
a task we each endeavor
For evening skies
and children's sighs
and dawns that always set
remind us all
that leaves must fall
we remember and won't forget
