Senior Leader Harmoni Proctor Reflects the Spirit of Service at MLK Fest
Each January, Baton Rouge comes alive with purpose as volunteers from across the city gather to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through The Walls Project’s annual MLK Fest. This large‑scale community initiative transforms underused and neglected spaces through public art, beautification, and hands‑on service. According to WBRZ, the event “transforms remembrance into momentum by remodeling community spaces,” continuing a citywide effort that began in 2015. [newsbreak.com]

Harmoni’s reputation on campus, as a dependable leader, committed scholar, and active contributor to school and community initiatives, makes her a shining example of the spirit MLK Fest embodies.
