Honoring Dr. King's Legacy Through Community Action

Chad Tibayan

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on his powerful message of justice, equality, and service. His vision for a more just world is something we continue to work toward every day.


At Palmer Scholars, we’re dedicated to creating a legacy of opportunity for young people of color in our community. Through programs like the Legacy Program and the Palmer Pathways Pre-Apprenticeship, we provide the support, education, and mentorship needed to help them succeed. Dr. King believed that education was the key to breaking barriers and creating opportunity, and we strive to make that vision a reality.


Wherever they start, whatever their path, we are committed to empowering the next generation of leaders. The work we do in the community is about making Dr. King’s dream of equality and opportunity come true, helping individuals unlock their potential and build a future where everyone can thrive.


As we honor Dr. King today, we’re reminded that the work continues. Together, we can build a world where justice, equality, and opportunity are for all.

 SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!

Palmer Scholars acknowledges that our work is carried out on, and our office space is located within, occupied Coast Salish land, specifically that of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous peoples. To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualties were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters, and other inhabitants today.

 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built.

We remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the U.S. from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We also acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of the country and continue to serve within our labor force. We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor.

 

To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge our/their indelible mark on the spaces in which we operate today. It is our collective responsibility to critically interrogate these histories, to repair harm, and to honor, protect, and sustain this land.
