“A day on not a day off”
Pastor Andrew Penns, chairman of Interested Citizens of Abilene North, speaks during a Martin Luther King Jr. Luncheon Jan. 14, 2015, at Dyess Air Force Base. Penns’ speech told of five African-American mothers who wrote a letter to the former 7th Bomb Wing commander in the 1950s to bring attention to how the base was integrated, yet Abilene schools were still segregated. As a result, William E. Dyess Elementary became the first school in the city of Abilene to integrate black and white students. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Kedesha Pennant/Released)
