Since the year 2000, the National Alliance of Faith and Justice (NAFJ) has designated and encouraged the observance of Justice Sunday, as a national movement of change through sustained service to honor the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the significance of his selfless service to the betterment of mankind. Justice Sunday also recognizes mentoring as a valued service toward improving the lives of under-served youth and adults in the areas of academic performance, the transition to adult life, and a multitude of other experiences.
In 2016, the Antelope Valley took a different approach to the program. Under the guidance of Bishop Henry Hearns, Nigel Holly stepped in to take Justice Sunday in a more "youth-centric" direction. Mr. Holly gathered just a few students from Antelope Valley High School to put on the first Justice Sunday Play.
Take a walk down memory lane with us to see how we've grown since then!
