    Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebrated at Dahlgren Observance

    DAHLGREN, Va. (Jan. 15, 2019) – Chuck Campbell, Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Chief of Staff, presents the Dahlgren history book, "The Sound of Freedom," to Frank White in appreciation of his keynote speech at the command’s Martin Luther King Jr. Observance.

    In his remarks, White recollected the faith and optimism in Dr. King’s attitude, remarks, and actions. As a case in point, White pointed to King’s optimistic outlook upon accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in December 1964. “I accept this award today with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind,” said King in his speech.

    “In looking back at American history over the past 50 years, we find that a lot of Dr. King’s dream has materialized,” said White. “We have had a black American president, we’ve had black governors, U.S. senators and representatives. Females have been elected or appointed to more positions of authority in both the public and private sectors. We’ve seen an increase in the number of minority and female officers. The first female four-star Navy admiral, Adm. Michele Howard, retired in 2017.”
