"Dr. King and his legacy play a vital role in the pride and dignity I have in myself, my children, and my people! At just the mention of his name—The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.— a mental bell rings, reminding us that the dream must live on."

Graduate School of Social Service MSW student Resia Cooper was featured in the NASW-NJ bimonthly magazine, FOCUS, for a piece she wrote in honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The piece, titled “A Reflection on the Life and Legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,” spoke to the impact Dr. King has had on Cooper as a social worker in her advocacy for what is right.
