When #Minister #GlendaStrongRobinson of #Longmont skipped class in 1968 to march with #DrMartinLutherKingJr there were many things that she couldn’t have foreseen: That the #Memphis #SanitationWorkersStrike she was supporting would become #iconic in #CivilRights #history . That Dr. King would be #assassinated within days. And that 55 years later, she would receive a #LifetimeAchievementAward in his honor.
