Reverend Dr. Lindsay Curtis remembered standing in a sea of people in Washington to hear Dr. King's historic 1963 speech. Curtis says he tries to spread Dr. King?s message inside Norwalk's Grace Baptist Church every Sunday. Lamont Wiggins, of Norwalk, says he can't imagine where society would be if it had not been for Dr. King paving the way.Curtis says if more people would internalize that speech in the every day aspect of their lives, they may contribute to a better society.
