Congressman Sanford Bishop was the keynote speaker at a commemorative service at Columbus Regional Medical Center on Monday.

Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream” speech was recited as part of the program.

Michael Stewart from Columbus Regional Medical Center says, "We always need to be reminded of keeping on the edge of being concerned with human rights and human justice issues, not only here in America but the world over. This is one way that we help remind ourselves that we need to be attending to these issues."

"I'm just so grateful that I had the opportunity to know Dr. King. To study closely his life. He touched me tremendously," explained Congressman Bishop.

It is the event's ninth year.
