SANFORD — Sanford’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day ceremonies Monday were, like King’s activism, orient-ed toward serving future generations.

Former N.C. Senator Eric Mansfield, keynote speaker during the 16th annual celebration at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center, told the audience they would be hypocriti-cal if they simply returned home and went about

their lives with no thought toward how they could help better themselves or some-one else.

“If the only thing you can do after this ser vice

is say how nice it was ... there’s something wrong with that,” said Mans-field, a veteran, physician, preacher and politician who was raised by a single mother for much of his life. “Dr. King did not fight and die for you to do nothing.”
