"The dream was not only about
equality and diversity, it was about
responsibility, courage and vision.
As adults we must be willing to set
the example for our youth to fo l
low. Martin did that and it was good. In recent history we
haven't done that, and it has been unacceptable. What are you
willing to do about it? What is Equality and Diversity to you ?
Martin Luther King Jr.’s
Colleague To Speak At UO
Jr.
Lawson, who collaborated
with King to develop the ph i
losophy of nonviolence that
became the cornerstone of the
civil rig h ts m ovem ent, will

“The press and most A m eri
cans saw Dr. King and the m ove
ment he represented as prim arily
for black people," Lawson says
“H owever, King him self saw his
m ovem ent as an effort to get
Am erica to redeem her soul.”
Lawson says A m erica must
live up to the prom ise of the pre
am ble to the C onstitution by bas
ing our national values on the
ideas K contains.
“We still have time to make a
ch o ice.” he says. “We can be
com e a nation where every child
has a good chance or we can face
the reality of growing chaos.”
"Pastor Lawson is an unusual,
very in s p irin g m an. He has
worked for a just society with
rem arkable single-m indedness
and integrity his entire life.” says
