partnered to make the speech
available on the front counter
o f n eig h b o rh o o d 7-E leven

The com m em orative piece
includes a unique four-page
in tro d u c tio n p e n n e d by
Coretta Scott King, the wife
o f the late Dr. King, that d e­
scribes the hours leading up to
K ing’s«peech and her obser­

the 40th anniversary o f the
March on W ashington for Jobs

D.C., during which King de-
livered “I Have A D ream .”
“I have always wanted to
have more people read the full

the text is very powerful and is
very relevant to the concerns of
people,” Mrs. King said.
Established in 1968, The King
Center is the official living me­
morial to Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr., and institutional guardian of
his legacy. The King C enter’s
mission focuses on developing
and disseminating programs that
educate the world about Dr.
King’s philosophy and methods
of nonviolence, human relations,
service to mankind, and related
teachings and building a national
and international network of or­
ganizations that help further the
organization's mission and ob­
jectives of building the Beloved
Community that Dr. King envi­
sioned.

gram, which provides care for
2,700 disabled and low-income
clients unable to work.
In addition, 9,000 older adulLs
and people li ving with disabilities
in long-term care will also lose
their services.
The cuts are jamming county
offices with clients looking for
answers and alternatives.
“W e’ve got to get something
going,” Hasbun said. “W e’ve
got to give back to the disabled
people."
Hasbun ’ s two-dozen prescrip­
tion bottles have become in­
creasingly empty as the month
rolls on. He doesn’t yet know
how he’ll refill them.
He is clearly frustrated by a
system that appears to have
betrayed him. But in the face of
uncertainty he keeps his own
situation in perspective.
“There’s a lot of people out
there in worse shape than I
am,” he said.
M any clients in the M edi­
cally Needy Program were 60
years and older. The program
covered the M edicare pre­
mium and costs for prescrip­
tion medicine.
“Since that program has been
cut, our clients have to find ways
to pay for the medicines them­
selves," said H asbun’s case
manager, Javelin Hardy.
H ardy presented H asbun
with a list of prescription medi­
cine resources but most will only
cover 10 percent of the cost.
She knows options are few for
Hasbun and thousands of oth­
ers just like him.
“He’s a fighter,” she said.
“It’s hard seeing those that don’t
want to fight.”
