Civil Rights advocate, Edith S. Jennings, comes to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School
Civil rights advocate, Edith Savage Jennings, came to the renaming of the Asbury Park Middle School to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School
Civil rights advocate, Edith S. Jennings, came to the renaming of the Asbury Park Middle School. The school will be renamed the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School. What not a better way to have this ceremony with someone who not only knew Martin Luther King Jr. along with his wife Coretta Scott King but also had Eleanor Roosevelt as a pen pal.
While Jennings was at the ceremony, she spoke to the APMS students about working hard to meet your goals. She also emphasized believing in yourself. This message brightened the smiles of the APMS students as they were honored to be in her presence.
Even at the age of 90, Edith S. Jennings was still inspiring young individuals to be their best and being a strong advocate of everyone getting along and living together in peace.
