King Jr Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) was born Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had hisyname changed to His grandfather began’ family’s long tenure as 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- pastor. Martin Luther attended segregated public schools in Georgia, graduating from high school at the age of fifteen; he received the B. A. degree in 1948 from Morehouse College, a distinguished Negro institution of Atlanta from which both his father and grandfather had graduated. After three years of theological study at Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania where he was elected president of a predominantly white senior class, he was awarded the B.D. in 1951. With a fellowship won at Crozer, he enrolled in graduate studies at Boston University, completing his residence for the doctorate in 1953 and the” States—his whole demeanor, character, love for people and personally, but the way he comes across to me, he’s a man of Barack Obama the Man Who Can be President =a by Christine Sabathia .

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’ lh of examples of racial’ 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,’ 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’s 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, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live Aside from Obama’s surprising momentum however, one might seek to understand why did it take so long for King’s 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’s 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’ >” 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’ 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. . They do not have any. conception of the number of Black-owned business 534 being denied entrance to a White movie theater and later allowed to enter and sit in the ‘Colored Section’ 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. At the same time it is also prudent to point-out other BGO’s (blind glimpses of the obvious).

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’t 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’t 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’t stop there. I would even go by the way that the man for whom I’m 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’t 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’t 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’t stop there. Strangely enough, I would turn to the Almighty, and say, “If you allow me to live just a few years in the second half of the twentieth century, I will be happy.” Now that’s 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’s 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’m 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’t force them to do it.

Barack Obama the Man Who Can be President _ Barack Obama, the junior Illinois senator whom doubters believe lacks the experience needed for the. nation’s highest office, swept the first Democratic caucus in Iowa and went head-to-head with Senator Hillary Clinton * during New Hampshire’s primary, two states with an overwhelming White ! population. Although it may be too soon ~ ~ todetermine which . Democratic candidate will ultimately receive the 2008 bid for the presidency, some say that Obama’s successes thus far are quite telling. “Towa was a huge victory,” | Said Mitchell Schwartz, | Obama’s campaign director for the state of California. “To. win by eight points in‘such a- | highly competitive = White state means people are open to. our candidacy,” | In Iowa, a state with a 95 | percent White population and two percent Black, Obama | beat out his opponents with | 38 percent of the vote while John Edwards and Clinton trailed behind with 30 percent and 29 percent, respectively. On the grounds during the | caucus was Dr, David Washington who gave his hypothesis regarding the win. “I think we won in Iowa because of the first-time caucus goers. ...When you hear of first-time caucus- goers you think of someone © who has never voted before; ; | But! put forth the hypothesis that a lot of these first-time ” caucus-goers were first time Democratic caucus-goers— . people who were Republicans and are Independents that | have never taken part in the _ Democratic caucus who came because they’re so inspired by this guy named Barack | Obama and his message of hope and change that they wanted to be a part of all of this.” Both Washington and Schwartz were hoping for _ another victory in New Hampshire, which also has an overwhelming White population of 97 percent and a small Black population of one percent, However, the scales tipped slightly more for Clinton, Their neck-and-néck race ended with Clinton holding 39 percent of the vote and Obama at 37 percent. The tight race showed that Obama’s message of change continues to resonate throughout the country, Born to a Kenyan father and White mother, Obama spent acraenreeieneney work in Chicago before *' _ to the Illinois State Senate ~ That year, he delivered his his childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia struggling to find himself while under his ~ mother’s watch (his parents divorced when he was two).

He then » developed a career in social . attending Harvard Law | School and becoming the first Black president ofthe _— prestigious Harvard Law Review. In 1997, Obama was elected where he cut his political teeth for seven years before he burst on the national scene. in 2004. — inspiring keynote address at the Democratic National : Convention and in November, he became the fifth Black U.S. Senator in history and the third sinee Reconstruction © ended, The married father of two, Obama has never been shy about sharing his background : and concern for family. values, basing most of his election platform on his social work experience in Chicago. After shying away from religion early in his life, he now attends Trinity United Church in Christ in Chicago. He credits his conversion to - ~ realizing the power African- _ Americans churches have had in encouraging social change. , His journey toward self- discovery along with his message of change and a hope for a better America have appealed to a broad audience and now that audience is being gathered to cast their votes for him. With two states already decided, one caucus and three more primaries to go this month, and Super Duper Tuesday opening next month, Schwartz and the Obama campaigners are focused on the work ahead. In California, which shares its primary date with 19 other states on February 5,.efforts . . are well underway.
