•** The Portland Observer is proud to present its second annual documentary of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King. Dr. King was a complex man who few really understand. In this publication we will explore the reasons why he lost his precious life. A man of peace and a disciple of Gandhi, King sought to eradicate problems that remain today—problems of poverty, racism, injustice. He attempted to bring to his nonviolent movement a global perspective—attacking the problems of war and oppression. He captured the heart and soul of the world as no other because he felt the pain and suffering of humanity. We still need peace, love and humility in the world. Let us look to Dr. King for inspiration and attempt to make his dream a reality. *J w C b d e PuMshlng Co .
