This week, sports broadcaster Greg Gumbel returned to his college town for an important speech.  Gumbel spoke at the 24th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration Dubuque, Iowa.  

Gumbel's presentation was titled, "Leaders and Their Dreams".  Over 400 people turned out at the Grand River Center to hear him talk about how more work was needed to attain Dr. King's goals.  

The current president at Gumbel's alma mater, Loras College, introduced him.  Faces and Voices hosted the event with support from the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque.
