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.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich.
(AP) — Monogramed long |ohns
are a status symbol and
students fight the cold with an
indoor beach party at Lake
Superior State College in the
wind whipped snow belt of Mi
chigan's Upper Peninsula
The school some 350 miles
north of Detroit draws many of
its 2,500 students with a tuition
rate that is among the lowest in
the state, $1,320 a year In
winter, temperatures are often
below zero, but on Thursday the
students got some respite — the
overnight low was a relatively
warm 8 degrees
"We have two seasons here
Winter and Fourth of July," said
Todd Bieler of Whitby, Ontario,
another cold spot
