“ When I speak of love I am not
speaking of some sentimental and week
response. I am speaking of that force
which all of the great religions have
seen as the supreme unifying principle
of life. Love is somehow the key that
unlocks the door which leads to ulti­
mate reality. ’ ’
- Martin Luther King Jr.

“The dream is one of equality ot
opportunity, of privilege and property
widely distributed; a dream of a land
where men will not take necessities
from the many to give luxuries to the
few; a dream of a land where men do
not agree that the color of a man s
skin determines the content of his
character; a dream of a place where all
our gifts and resources are held not for
us alone but as instruments of service
for the rest of humanity; the dream of
a country where every man will
respect the dignity and worth of all
human personality, and men will dare
to live together as brothers...”
Police Chief Laurie Pritchett of Albany, Georgia, placing Martin Luther King, Jr., and Dr.
W.G. Anderson under arrest.

What Martin Luther
King Means to me
by
’ortland’s Complete Record Store
Since 1969
J oseph P ayton
To me Martin Luther King Jr. represents a great
leader, a man with power. Dr. Martin Luther King was
a good man I feel that he accomplished much that he
wanted, yet much remains undone, he had his ups and
r k *• A -’T

downs and 1 teel that he w asagreat leaderforourblack
community, a man who wanted peace not violence. Dr. King was my idol. 1 teel that there was
I1O, anybody who was as strong as Martin Luther King. Dr. King traveled all around the world
to speak his words. White folk gave him a lot of respect, but the white folks are still prejudiced.
During his life Martin Luther King had a lot of people’s support, though now I teel that some
people have lost their respect and removed their support for Dr. King because our blacks are
now starting to pick up guns and kill each other. Dr. King wanted peace, ever lasting life, tor
man kind. Dr. King would not wan, his kids to grow up killing each other like so many are doing
today. He wanted blacks to get treated as individuals and equals because his message said we
shall overcome, stop all this madness, become as one and don’t let anyone split us up. Martin
Luther King will be missed, he did a lot to help us as well as whites, hear freedom ring in our
minds and hearts.

What the King Meant to me
A
R ap , by J ohnny C lark

Martin Lathe, King was a civil rights leader, all he stood fo r was peace and freedom.
J want you to be first in love ", “Z want you to be first in moral excellence . I want you to
be the first in generosity ", If you want to be important.
He received advanced degrees In Theology from Crater Seminary and Boston University.
Before returning to the south in ¡954
To serve as a pastor in Montgomery Alabama
To help all kinds o f families
In the South
He had to let them no what he was about.
Peace, freedom and wisdom
A.v he was on tours,
He represented the preaching
So all people can represent
The real teaching
So all people can represent
Him with equality.
So "I have a dream "
Can mean the most to me.

Happy Birthday Dr. King”
