DALLAS/HOUSTON – Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP continues its tradition of extolling the work and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and celebrates the upcoming dedication of the official Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, August 28, 2011, the anniversary of Dr. King’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech.“Although harmful divisions haunt us still, we are uplifted by the timeless message of unity brought to us by the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial,” says Dwight Francis, Co-Chair of Gardere’s Diversity Committee. “Gardere celebrates and champions all efforts to unite our country, and to teach our children the vital human traits of compassion and justice.”
