NOTE TO EDITORS/NEWS DIRECTORS: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Equality 
Recognition Luncheon Promotes Dedication to Civil Rights 

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once stated "Human progress is 
never inevitable…it only comes through the time and effort and 
the persistent work of dedicated individuals." NASA Glenn Research 
Center strongly echoes King's words through its pursuit of equal 
opportunities for all employees.



In the spirit of Dr. King's civil rights doctrine, Glenn's Office of 
equal Opportunity Programs will host the first-ever Dr. Martin Luther 
King Jr. equality recognition Luncheon. The event will take place on 
Wednesday, January 17 from 11 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. in the OAI sunroom, 
located at 22800 Cedar Point Road, Cleveland, OH.



Greater Cleveland Roundtable President and Chief Executive Officer 
Margot James Copeland will present a keynote speech on the importance 
of civil rights from a modern perspective. The luncheon will also 
honor 85 Glenn Equal Opportunity Advisory Committee members who have 
completed at least one year of duty during an awards ceremony.



Media representatives are invited to attend the employee only event.
