When Dianna Clay found out that she was recognized by the city of Stockton, the State Legislature, and U.S. Congress as MLK Person of the Year, she was honored.

“Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. represents a lot for me and our civil rights. I felt appreciated. I was very happy that someone saw something in me and it makes me feel empowered,” said Dianna.

At the community-wide MLK, Jr. Celebration in January, Ministers & Community United and Congressman Jerry McNerney also honored Dianna for her service and commitment to the citizens of the community.
