Dr. Barnett's Testimonials

Dear Dr. Barnett:

The purpose of this note is to thank you for the inspiring and motivational speech you gave at our fourth annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Breakfast. We had over 160 people attend the breakfast and I heard many positive comments about your presentation.

I also wanted to thank you for speaking to the local high school students. Approximately 200 students were able to attend your presentation. As you remember, the students gave you a standing ovation for your message. I know that you helped change lives.

You have lived an amazing life and have embodied Martin Luther King’s message of having and dream and making it happen. You are an example that dreams really can come true. You have succeeded in both athletics and in academics. We wish you nothing but the best as you continue this important work to teach people of all ages the importance of having a dream and demonstrating the persistence to make the dream come true. I hope that we can have you return to Lawrence in the future.”

John J. Conard
Jr-MLK Community Breakfast Chairman
