Dean of Minority Affairs, Donald Will iams Sr. , was pleased to see the diverse group assembled for the cam­ pus march. "It pe rsuades me that it's not peo­ ple that the fight is against. The fight is against attitudes and behaviors," Will iams said. "(Dr. King) conceptual­ ized the dream, we have to carry it out. It's not about the absence of ten­ sio n, but the presence of justice." The march was part of several events on campus celebrating the late Dr. King's birthday. Posters along the route contained facts about the leader's life and death, including his march on Washington in August in 1963 and President Kennedy's death "(Dr. King) conceptualized the three months later. dream we have to carry it out, " The Nobel Peace Prize was award­ said Donald Williams Sr., dean ed to Dr. King in 1964, he was assas­ ~!
