QSG/CENTRAL

Dear Ms. Lowery,

I was deeply touched to learn that the Southern Christian Leadership Conference/Women's Organizational Movement for Equality Now intended to honour me with the International Drum Major for Justice Award, especially knowing its association with the late Reverend Dr. King. I regret, however, that I am unable to accept this honour, as my official duties prevent me from traveling to for presentation of the awards on 7 April 2000.

Please convey my thanks to the other members of the Board of Directors, and my best wishes for a successful anniversary celebration to the Co-Chairs of the Awards Dinner.

With best personal regards,

Yours sincerely,

Kofi A. Annan

SCLCfWOM.E.N, FOUNDED IN 1979 BTMRS. EVELTN C. LOWERT, PRESENTS THESE ANNUAL AWARDS TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE MADE OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS

19 97

29 years ago today (April 4), SCLC's first president, Martin Luther King, Jr., was slain by gunshot in Memphis, Tennessee. Now, an average of 15 children die daily from gunshots. 30,000 Americans are killed annually by gunfire. Guns bring out the beast, not the best, in us!

The climate that encourages violence in the streets is created by economic PRESIDENT: Dr. Joseph E. Uowery and political violence in the suites.

This observance of the assassination is an appropriate time for each of us to re-commit ourselves to devoting maximum time and energies to Stop the Killing/End the Violence!!

Desperation and anti-social behavior are often creatures of encyclical, poverty, fears and uncertainties fed by lay-offs and the vanishing jobs. We have lost millions of jobs to technology and policies that export jobs and expand poverty.

This tragic state of affairs is further aggravated by an assault on voting rights, affirmative action and a biased criminal justice system which is sending thousands of African American youths to prison for excessive terms.

Let us use this memorial observance as occasion to renew our activism and our commitment to fight back!

We've come too far, marched too long, prayed too hard, wept too bitterly, bled too profusely, and died too young, to let any forces turn back the clock on our journey to justice.

PRESIDENT'S,Mh S J> AU ,t; I REMEMBER MARTIN...

BY JOSEPHS. LOWERT (1980)

I Remember Martin... Whose eloquent voice sounded and resounded the cries of freedom on behalf of the poor and oppressed...

I Remember Martin... for the warmth of his person which made even me feel comfortable in the presence of his greatness, and for the challenge that I felt to do more and more because he did so much and became so much...

I Remember Martin... for his ability to attract the support of such diverse personalities as those of us who made the Board and Staff... and how he inspired us to forge those differences into united forces against the common enemies of hatred, and bias...

I Remember Martin... who, more than any other human being in our time, touched the conscience of a mighty and rich nation so that it was moved to institute the social change that lifted burdens from the weak and gave new dignity to the poor...

I Remember Martin... because his dream was in essence the dream of a nation that had forgotten...and more than that, it was in truth the dream of a Creator who had not forgotten and who made Kofone blood all nations of men to dwell upon the face of His earth.3'

I Remember Martin... as a continuing force in challenging the conscience of a nation and the world to bring "justice down like waters and righteousness as a mighty stream..."

In this spirit, SCLC, his organization, his heart, his ministry with your help shall continue to fulfill the dream...in the streets and in the suites...they have kitted the dreamer...we must make sure they cannot kill the dream.

The dream must be translated into sustained effort to bring about the systematic change needed to commit the nation to full employment:, to put an end to repressive criminal justice systems; to bring peace with justice to all the world; to usher in the day of brotherhood and end the long night of wrong.

Tes, I Remember Martin... as thefidlest embodiment of the calling to ministry... and I am humbled and frightened and challenged to occupy the chair where he sat as president of this organization, SCLC...and yet I know that I have his love and those lonely hours I sense his presence...and more than that...I have your confidence and your support...and, more than that...we walk with God whose will is surely liberty for all His children...and He has promised that we shall overcome...

I n our 18th year of the anniversary of the assassination of our founding president, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we send out a call and a plea to young and old alike - join the campaign to 'Stop the Killing' and let's work together to help put an end to violence. It was violence that caused Dr. King's demise, and everyday this is being repeated in the streets of our cities, in our schools and in our homes. Let's put an end to violence.

Violence of all kinds, including verbal violence and pretend violence acted out on our playgrounds, has a profound effect on today's society and our young people. The demeaning characterizations and harsh language used too often in today's "rhythmic concoctions" sets cultural tones that are neither healthy nor desirable.

The frequendy misogynistic nature of rap lyrics is absolutely deplorable. Some may defend that die vulgarity and hate projected in some of today's music and videos are merely reflections of reality and of how things are in the 'hood,' but this is only a cop-out for the sake of popularity and the dollar.

We need words of peace among men and women in today's times of turmoil. We must combine all of our efforts to form a spiritual base for bringing harmony and understanding to the world. Music has historically been a voice of pride and a voice of love and justice for African Americans. It needs to be so now - more than ever.

We appreciate your support which enables us to implement programs to "strengthen the family;" to empower single mothers dirough the SCLC/W.O.M.E.N.'s Learning Center, offering computerized learning skills, entrepreneurial techniques, life skills, etc.; to help spread the word about AIDS education through SCLC/WO.M.E.N.'s National AIDS Project; and to offer scholarships to our youth through our scholarship program.

Join SCLC/W.O.M.E.N. today and help us continue the struggle! SCLC NATIONAL OFFICERS

ACKNOWLEDGMENT "WE SHALL OVERCOME" AWARDEES

GOVERNMENT AWARD Fit. Lt, Jerry John Rowlings

Fit. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings, 49, was sworn in as the first President of the Fourth Republic of Ghana in January of 1993 and was re-elected to a second four-year term in December of 1996. As president of Ghana, Fit. Lr. Rawlings serves as Head of State, Head of Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ghana.

As Ghana's Head of State, President Rawlings has successfully reversed the negative fortunes of the country, enabling it to register an average growth of some 5% since the mid-80s. President Rawlings has steered Ghana to multi- party democracy through free, fair and violence-free elections, during a time when other African countries experience difficulties. And as Chairman of the Council of Heads of State of the 16-nation Economic Community of West Africa, President Rawlings is committed to developing an open, prosperous market of 250 million people in West Africa.

President Rawlings has received a doctorate degree in Development and Diplomacy from Lincoln University, Pennsylvania and an honorary doctorate from City University of New York. He has been awarded the Africa leadership Prize for the Sustainable End of Hunger and received the Clarence D. Martin Medal for his contributions to the support of higher Education. President Rawlings is married with three daughters and a son.

ARTS AWARD Esther Rolle

Renowned actress Esdier Rolle was born the 10th of 18 children to farming parents in Pompano Beach, Florida. She began her acting career on the hit TV series "Maude," followed by her famed portrayal of Florida Evans on the six- year-long CBS series "." Ms. Rollers career achievements include Broadway shows, made-for-TV movies, and motion pictures - including her latest - "Rosewood" with Jon Voight.

Ms. Rolle's achievements encompass an Emmy Award for "Summer of My German Soldier," three NAACP Image Awards, induction into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame, a spokeswoman role for the McDonald's Literary Achievement Awards, an Honoree of the United Negro College Fund, youth lecturer and advocate on behalf of abused women. ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT AWARD Don King

Born in the inner-city of Cleveland, Ohio on August 20, 1931, Don King is often cited as a living example of the American Dream. The most celebrated sports promoter hands-down, King is the only boxing promoter to be select- ed among "Sports Illustrated's 40 Most Influential Sport Figures for the Last 40 Years" in 1994. In addition, King is the first and only sports promoter invited to speak at the prestigious Harvard Law School Forum.

Promoting more than 20 world tide fights in one year - three separate times in his career, King has been named "Greatest Promoter of All Time" by the World Boxing Council, "Promoter of the Century" by the World Boxing Association and "Greatest Promoter In History" by the International Boxing Federation. In addition to his professional accolades, his tireless philanthropic efforts have earned him the Black Achievement Award, the Man of the Year Award from the Black United Fund and Brotherhood Crusade and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award.

CARING FATHER AWARD George Foreman

The legendary and lovable George Foreman is a superb example to all of the power of perseverance. Born in a small east Texas town, Foreman rose to become the Heavyweight Champion of the World. Twenty years after losing his title to Muhammad Ali, Foreman returned to boxing to reclaim the tide at the age of 46.

But aside from his astounding lifetime ring record of 73-4-0 and 68 KOs, Foreman is a dedicated and endearing family man who seeks out the approval of his wife before agreeing to fight, and has named all four of his sons "George." Foreman has also made his mark as a preacher, community leader, inspirational speaker, television analyst, and TV star. A W A R D E E S
