Clay said King earned an
undergraduate degree when
he was 19, a master’s when he
was 22 and a doctorate when
he was 26. He said attending
school at that time must have

“I remember times, as
an undergraduate in col-
lege, when things would
get tough,” he said. “... I
thought about how tough
it must have been for him,
and I had to take it within
myself: I’m not experienc-
ing much of what he expe-
rienced.”
Clay said King also in-

for others.
“He used every opportu-
nity that he had to sit at the

the concerns of those who
had no voice,” Clay said.
“Even though the doors
were open for him ... he took
the message of the margin-
alized to where the deci-
sions were being made.”
Clay said King’s efforts
made his life possible, and
following King’s example
made him a better person.
“Dr King’s life has truly
impacted my life, not just
because of what he accom-
plished, but the character
that he held as a man that I
hold today,” he said.
BIAC member Jesus
Rome, who conducted
the opening prayer at the
church ceremony, said after
the event that it was good to
see so many people attend
Monday’s march, which
drew the largest attendance
since it began.
“I Have A Dream” excerpt
“... And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I
still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the
true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal.’
“I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of
former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit
down together at the table of brotherhood.
“I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state swel-
tering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression,
will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the
content of their character. ...”
