“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” I was reminded of these powerful words from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when I gave a brief speech in Kankakee earlier this month at a prayer breakfast on the birthday of the celebrated civil rights leader. #SenatorJoyce

I am extra thankful for those in the 40th District who joined us in our call to send cards and letters to local veterans who now live at the Illinois Veterans’ Home in Manteno to let them know we will never forget them. #SenatorPatrickJoyce
