His grandfather began T

pastors of the Ebenezer
Baptist Church in Atlanta,
serving from 1914 to 1931;
his father has served from
then until the present, and
from 1960 until his death
Martin Luther acted as co-

graduating from high school

1948 from Morehouse
College, a distinguished
Negro institution of Atlanta

Pennsylvania where he was
elected president of a

It has been over four decades since the Voting Rights Actof
1965 was passed allowing for Blacks to freely participate in
the political process, but not until now has America witnessed
a phenomenon of the likes of Barack Obama. |
oI would hope that it would happen, but I never thought it
would happen in my lifetime, ? said 77-year old Lillian
Mobley.
Mobley is a long time Los Angeles community activist who.
has championed the causes of the poor Blacks for most of her
life. | |
oHe Ts got what it takes to become president of the United
life, love for humanity. I like the quality of Obama, what he
talks about, what he seems to live everyday. I don Tt know him

~ Celebrating The Anniversary Of
_ Civil Rights Revisited Mr JimRouse,
by Francis Taylor,
Sentinel Staff Writer
If Rev., Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr., were alive today, he would
"be looking forward to his 79th
birthday on January 15. Many
have attempted over the years to
ponder how he would feel and
what he would say about many
of the conditions and
circumstances that have befallen
Black people since his
assassination in Memphis,
Tennessee on April 4, 1968.
From the relatively recent brutal
police beating of Rodney King
that sparked the Los Angeles
Race Riots to the police killing
of Tyisha Miller in Riverside,
California and countless other
acts of undeniable police
misconduct against Blacks
across the nation; an apparent
deterioration of the Black
family; the abysmal rate of
Black high school graduates: the
proliferation of unwed Black
teenage mothers, and nearly
every other category that
compares and contrasts the
condition of Blacks in the
' United States, then and now, one
may wonder whether or not the
tireless work of Dr. King and
other civil rights activists has
made a real difference in our
society.
Arguably the most notable Black
man in modern history, King
will forever be known as the
father of the civil rights
movement, the man who
through non-violent means, led
the struggle for de-segregation
and equality for Black ©
Americans, and the man who
had a dream for a color-blind
America, :
Despite the modest progres
States, in 66 itrast to T lh
of examples of racial T
discrimination against Blacks in
employment, education,
economic empowerment, police ,
treatment, and many other
examples that point to a society
that remains lacking in true
equality, King would most
certainly be pleased with the
accomplishments of democratic
presidential candidate, Barack "
Obama, and more specifically,
the citizens of lowa and New
Hampshire.
It appears that Obama is poised
to symbolically deliver on one .
of the dreams King expressed on
the steps of the Lincoln
Memorial in Washington, D.C.,
at the March On Washington,
the greatest demonstration for
freedom in the history of our
nation, T on August 28, 1963,
In that speech, which ranks at
the top of the most powerful
rations in the history of our
nation, along with Abraham
Lincoln Ts Gettysburg Address,
and credited with mobilizing
Blacks as well as Whites to
Support desegregation and
prompted the 1964 Civil Rights
Act and a year later the Voting
Rights Act, King expressed a
dream for his four children,
oI have a dream that my four
little children will one day live
Aside from Obama Ts surprising
momentum however, one might
seek to understand why did it
take so long for King Ts dreams
to be resoundingly displayed in-
. »America,
As a participant in the historical
March On Washington in 1963,
this writer has first-hand
recollection of the coming-
together of men, women and
children of all ages, races, and
religious backgrounds who were
moved by King Ts message and
who were inspired to take that
message, and hope, back to their
respective communities.
Baby-boomers, like myself,
those born in the late 1940s and
in the 1950s still have vivid
memories of a life and struggle
in this country that seems to
have been lost among many of
the children and most of the
grandchildren of those baby
boomers. |
They cannot visualize the
television images of Blacks
being attacked by water hoses,
police dogs, and billy-club T ?
armed police officers on Bloody
Sunday in Selma, Alabama in
1964. They cannot fathom being
denied food service at many
neighborhood restaurants in.
nearly every city in the nation.
And while many may know the
name, the new generation of
Blacks may not appreciate the
decision Rosa Parks made to
ignore Jim Crow Laws, which T
subsequently launched the
successful 382-Day Bus Boycott
in Birmingham, Alabama that:
ultimately led the Supreme
Court to outlaw racial
segregation on any form of
public transportation.

being denied entrance to a White
movie theater and later allowed
to enter and sit in the Colored
Section T only.
Unfortunately also, many of the
offspring of those baby-boomers
cannot grasp the feeling of
learning that their parent was
denied a job or promotion
opportunity because of their
Black skin. They will never have
the opportunity to sit with an
aunt, grandparent or other
family member who was able to
talk about their parents Tearing
in a segregated South or as a
slave. .
Similarly, they are generally
oblivious to the fact that King,
along with the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference
(SCLC) and other civil rights
leaders and organizations ©
marched, demonstrated, and
were frequently arrested and
tossed in jail, in pursuit of the
right to vote, equal
Opportunities, and other liberties
that are now usually taken for
granted.

Excerpt from King Ts
Final Speech .
I Tve Seen The Promised
I Tm delighted to see each of you
here tonight in spite of a storm _
warning. You reveal that you are
nee ee on anyhow.
omething is happening in
Memphis, something is
happening in our world.
As you know, if I were standing
at the beginning of time, with
the possibility of general and
panoramic view of the whole
human history up to now, and
the Almighty said to me,
oMartin Luther King, which age
would you like to live in? ? " |
would take my mental flight by
Egypt through, or rather across
the Red Sea, through the
wilderness on toward the
promised land. And in spite of
its magnificence, I wouldn Tt stop
there. I would move on by
, and take my mind to
Mount Olympus. And I would
see Plato, Aristotle, Socrates,
Euripides and Aristophanes
assembled around the Parthenon
as they discussed the great and
eternal issues of reality,
But I wouldn Tt stop there. I
would go on, even to the great
heyday of the Roman Empire.
And I would see developments
around there, through various
emperors and leaders. But I
wouldn Tt stop there. I would
?,?ven come up to the day of the
Renaissance, and get a quick
Picture of all that the
Renaissance did for the cultural
and esthetic life of man. But I -
wouldn Tt stop there. I would
even go by the way that the man
for whom I Tm named had his
habitat. And I would watch
Martin Luther as he tacked his
ninety-five theses on the door at
the church in Wittenberg.
But I wouldn Tt stop there. I
would come on up even to 1863,
and watch a vacillating president
by the name of Abraham
Lincoln finally come to the
conclusion that he had to sign
the Emancipation Proclamation.
But I wouldn Tt stop there. I
would even. come up the early
es, and see a man grappling | |
With the problems of the
bankruptcy of his nation. And
come with an eloquent cry that
we have nothing to fear but fear
itself, |
But I wouldh Tt stop there.
Strangely enough, I would turn
to the Almighty, and say, oIf you
allow me to live just a few years
in the second half of the
twentieth century, I will be
happy. ? Now that Ts a strange
statement to make, because the
world is all messed up. The
nation is sick. Trouble is in the
land. Confusion all around.
That Ts a strange statement, But I
know, somehow, that only when
it is dark enough, can you see
the stars. And I see God working
in this period of the twentieth
century in a way that men, in
some strange way, are
responding "something is
happening in our world, The
masses of people are rising up.
And wherever they are
assembled today, whether they
are in Johannesburg, South
Africa; Nairobi, Kenya: Accra,
Ghana; New York City; Atlanta,
Georgia; Jackson, Mississippi;
or Memphis, Tennessee "the cry
is always the same " ?We want
to be free. ?
And ig a Be that I Tm
Py to live in this period is
on we have been forced to a
point where we're going to have
to grapple with the problems
that men have been trying to
grapple with through history, but
the demands didn Tt force them
to do it. Survival demands that
we grapple with them, Men, for
years now, have been talki
about war and peace. But now,
no longer can they just talk
about it. It is no longer a choice
between violence and
nonviolence in this world; it Ts
nonviolence or nonexistence,
That is where we are today, And
also in the human rights
revolution, if something isn Tt
