Why? LeBron was a public school student from 1st – 8th grade. He was a student deemed “at risk.” He was one of our kids. It was because of the people around him, his schools, the Akron community that helped him & his mom through the rough times.

“Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?’”
As we celebrate the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, don’t forget to reflect on the actions you are taking to be more like the leader he was.
