Dreamers come in two vaneties:
wishful thinkers and visionaries. But
what separates those who just wish from
those who manifest their dreams? An
education, for one thing.
T hat’s why the Miller Brewing
Company helped develop the Thurgood
Marshall Black Education Fund. Miller
truly believes that this scholarship
program, devoted to funding public
Black colleges, can make a lot of dreams
come true.
These 35 colleges do not get the
same corporate backing that some
private colleges do. Yet, public Black
colleges have been a major catalyst of

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. lived his
life in struggle so that m illions
after him could live their lives in
pride. The struggle to achieve
equality through civil action. The
struggle he faced every day as a
man of faith. The struggle that was
recognized with the cherished
Nobel Peace Prize.
What could be more appropriate
than to designate his birthday
asa national holiday?
