We Day Minnesota 2013 succeeds with performances from a variety of personalities
We Day speakers included Martin Luther King III, here in the center next to the co-founders of We Day, Craig and Marc Kielburger.
Taking a day off from school to attend We Day, a volunteering convention at the Xcel Energy Center, was totally worth it. The event showcased people from all walks of life, from the inspiring introduction by Martin Luther King III to the speech by a double amputee to the finale performance by singer Carly Rae Jepsen. Every moment of the day helped to create an environment of trust, hope, and encouragement.
