This year’s guest speaker is Drew Pearson, Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductee and former Dallas Cowboy.
In addition to highlighting Dr. King’s vision by showcasing how working together as one team can advance his mission of making a better future, this year’s event will celebrate the event founder, Dr. Myrtle Hightower, who helped champion diversity in Plano ISD and the community.
