CRANBERRY TWP — The words of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous “I Have a Dream” speech still resound nearly 60 years later.

As a crowd of about 30 people watched the speech at Dutilh United Methodist Church on Sunday, township resident Angela Lawson said although the words are powerful, she hoped those watching the video would see the difference King made and be inspired to make a difference themselves.

She said there still is work to do to promote equity in the United States.

“I am hoping that people will realize that people can make a difference,” Lawson said. “If you hear something, say something. Otherwise things will never change.”
