This year’s theme was Mission Possible: Protecting Freedom, Justice, and Democracy in the Spirit of Nonviolence.

The event reflects Dr. King’s life and work and how that legacy is continuing today in Oklahoma.

Anthony Douglas, chair of the Midwest City MLK Prayer Breakfast Committee, said it’s important to not only remember Dr. King’s words, but to put them into action every day.

“The way our society is going it’s like his words have become invisible to all of us,” he said.

The event was originally planned for MLK Day on Jan. 20, but it was postponed due to weather.

Midwest City Mayor Matt Dukes said he is proud to represent a community that embraces the legacy of Dr. King and what taught us.

“What I’ve learned in 10 years of being Mayor of Midwest City, everything is possible as long as you look forward,” he said. “We need to look backward to remember our mistakes, but we need to focus on the vision and looking forward and what we can do better. And we can’t do any better than this.”
