Diversity Coordinator Korée Hood was responsible for arranging
King's visit at Palmer Trinity School. "We're both graduates of
Morehouse College, and about five years ago, we marched together
on the same processional route that they took the day of Dr. King's
funeral," said Hood. "What we're trying to do here at Palmer
Trinity is educate the whole student, and diversity is a big part
of that. So with it being the first year of Palmer Trinity having
a diversity coordinator, I thought it would be great to have Mr.
King come in and speak to the students as well as the staff."
After convocation ended, King joined the Diversity Council and
selected faculty and staff for a special luncheon followed by a question
and answer session with middle and upper school students. "King
thoroughly enjoyed his visit here," said Hood. "He said there was
something different about Palmer Trinity and when I asked him what
it was, he said: 'the spirit.' He said 'when I walked on the campus I
could feel the spirit was different here than a lot of other schools.' "
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has."
