Civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy continues to inspire all.

"Well, I think this is a message that's important for everybody to hear, But most important for our youth," said Melissa Ferrie-Healy, a music teacher.

"I learned that it’s good to have a dream, especially if you want to make a difference," added Ava Brobscoa, a music student.

A sing-along held Saturday at Unitarian Universalist House in Saratoga Springs reflected on his message and dream of non-violence, peace and love in the world.

"Kids need those tools. They need to know, 'OK, how are we going to get through what we are dealing with right now in a nonviolent way,' " shared Ferrie-Healy.

Some attendees share that this is an avenue for the youngest to understand the values of Dr. King, especially in a world today full of wars and violence. They hope these children are loving and respectful of all human beings.

"They're creating, they're being exposed to adults who believe these things. That's how kids learn values. And so hopefully they'll take this with them," said Julie Holmberg at Unitarian Universalist House.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a holiday that commemorates and remembers the civil rights movement, pushing back against racism and segregation in the United States.

"You know, we are the community, the beloved community, and it starts with us. And so, coming away with feelings of love and care for our fellow people here and around the world," said Holmberg.
