H Ml IIWUSLZ A great way of Me your turn Martin Luther King's message During a period in the life of this nation which some have characterized as largely devoid of traditional heroes, it seems appropriate to recall significant aspects of the public journey of Martin Luther King as the 1983 anniversary of his birth is noted Like his socially concerned predecessors, America's Thoreau and India's Gandhi, Martin Luther King, the black American civil rights leader of recent memory, hungered for social justice Had he lived on beyond his 39th year, he would have turned 54 Saturday The man and the circumstances of his time in history were unusually complementary He became a courageous and far-sighted champion of the rights of America’s black citizens — and, increasingly, an advocate of human rights throughout the world I hope that this "inter-connecting” facet of the man's social and philosophic outlook will not be ignored by contemporary Americans — both black and non-black For Martin Luther King, ever conscious of his membership in America's black minority community, was also a stout-hearted citizen of the larger world community. In spite of his personal flaws, I believe that he represents a quality of "balanced humanness which we would all do well to embrace. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Atlanta, Ga., on Jan 15, 1929 He began to emerge as a visible leader in the civil rights movement in the mid-1950's During that period, while serving as a minister in Montgomery, Ala , he led a successful bus boycott to bring about racial desegregation of Montgomery's public transit system Thereafter he quickly rose to national prominence as he valiantly promoted non-violent tactics in the struggle of black Americans for human dignity and equal rights One of King’s most moving statements was a letter written from the Birmingham, Ala., jail after he was arrested in that city in 1963 for leading a peaceful protest march. Quite fittingly, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his leadership in applying the principles of non-violent resistance in the struggle for racial equality. Historically, it is also important to note that in April 1967, Martin Luther King lent the tremendous weight of his prestige to the protest against America's undeclared war in Vietnam While he was openly criticized by many (both white and black) for opposing American policies in Vietnam, his forthright stand was a dramatic reminder that King came to views himself as a concerned participant in the world community — and that he felt a moral commitment to work for peace everywhere. A fair assessment of Martin Luther King's leadership style will reveal that his non-violent methods, no matter what the provocation might be, were opposed and challenged by more militant black Americans of his day. Characteristic of his aims at uniting all people, Martin Luther King was attempting to broaden his base of support to include larger numbers of low-income people of all races at the time of his assassination in Memphis, Tenn., April 4,1968 Ron Rousseve is a professor of counseling-psy chology. Groups gather in remembrance of King’s dream "A Dream Not Forgotten" will be the theme of a reception celebrating Martin Luther King's birthday Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in Gerlinger Lounge. Tyrone Tillery, a University associate history professor, will deliver the keynote speech entitled "The King and All of Us Food Service Additionally, a student will give a dramatic reading, says James Britt, director of Black Student Union, which is sponsoring the event Oh those wacky collegians in their long johns SAULT STE.
