One of Jamie Bain’s heroes is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  It is fitting that on the day to commemorate Dr. King’s birthday, Jamie will be in Philadelphia to kick off the festivities by ringing the Liberty Bell.  Jamie is being honored by the Philadelphia Martin Luther King, Jr. Association for Non-Violence as an honorary Bell Ringer and recipient of the 2010 Drum Major Award for Criminal Justice.

I will be in attendance and will have a report with photos when I return next next Tuesday.  In the meantime, check out these enws reports from local Philadelphia news agencies on the ceremony and how Jamie’s brother Mark, who lives in enarby Allentown, PA, will be able to witness the event:
