Dr. Mark Keenum: I also this morning have the distinct honor and privilege of introducing our keynote speaker this morning, the Reverend Neddie Winters. He's president of Mission Mississippi, which works throughout a wide range of events to help bring people together. Would y'all please join me in welcoming Reverend Winters.
Neddie Winters:ÌýÌý ÌýThe thing about today is a celebration of the life, the labor, and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. Can that just soak in for a few moments? The life, the labor, and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. I want you to celebrate with me.
I want you to do something significant. Somebody say, "Well, what's the difference, Neddie, between success and significant?"
