Burton Says “Share The Dream”
With Martin Luther King Cards
R everend W iley B urton and
Cheryl Brown, President of Brown
Publishing announced the release of a
unique greeting card to celebrate the
Dr. Martin Luther King’ Jr. holiday.
The new card included a multi-lingual
invitation for several guests to gather
at the invitees home to celebrate Dr.
Kings birthday. The card could also be
used as a greeting card to acknowl­
edge the special holiday.
“Out o f the ashes of the fires and
frustrations to rebuild Los Angles af­
ter May of 9 2 ’s insurrection, Rev.
Wiley Burton has developed a plan to
help rebuild the broken and non-exis­
tent relationships in the community. A
plan that is based on the concepts of
Dr. Martin Luther, Jr. to “One day see.
Black children, W hite children, all
children” playing with one another. It
is in the spirit o f his message and the
celebration of the national holiday
that the unique original multi-cultural
MLK card was develop,” said Brown.
As a tribute and celebration, thou­
sands of citizens all over the world
supported the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. holiday by inviting friends,
co-workers and neighbors of different
cultures into their homes for dinner or
lunch. The purpose was to create
“Unity In Our Community,” a dream
of Dr. King’s. The dinner gave the
human race and its various cultures a
chance to break bread together so we
can better understand and love each
a day we all celebrate,” said Rev.
Burton.
His idea is that the day should be
used to celebrate unity. “ I wanted
people of all races to use the birthday
celebration of this century’s most
prominent advocate for racial har­
mony as the catalyst to get together to
practice and celebrate racial harmony.
Today more than ever our nation
needs a real sharing of unity in all
cities to bring us back together,” Re v.
Burton said.
“We developed andproduced this
unique m ulti-purpose invitational
card in an effort to bring people of all
races together for at least one day”
said Rev. Burton.
