Several members of our Board of Education and District Administration were inspired after attending the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Breakfast, presented by the Piscataway Civil Rights Advisory Commission! Community leaders came together on Saturday, Jan. 17 to share blessings, powerful words, and a renewed commitment to unity and service in a beautiful celebration of Dr. King’s legacy.

Our district was represented by Superintendent Erskine R. Glover, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Student Engagement Dr. C. Alex Gray, Board of Education President Nancy Salgado-Cowan, Vice President Shantell Cherry, and Board members Dr. Tom Connors, Habeebah Haqq, Courtney King, Prashant Patel, and Inieka Stafford. They were joined by Councilpersons-at-Large Sarah Rashid (a former Board member) and Laura Leibowitz (a former Piscataway High School teacher), as well as Sharon Robinson-Briggs, president of the Plainfield-area NAACP.

One highlight of the day was a moving oration of a speech by President Barack Obama by Andrew Mallette, which left a lasting impression on all.
