Pulfulling a Legacy Editor-in-Chief: Allia J. Miller ihe word legacy brings to mind the "filling" of one's shoes left behind. To carry on the legacy or dream 'of one before you is certaintly not an easy feat. It takes understanding, patience, and even tolerance of "Each person ideals held closely in the heart of another. must live This month's issue provided The Obsidian staff with the rare opportunity to get an exclusive with a woman their life who definitely knows what it means to carry on a legacy. Ms.Yolanda King gave of her time to as a model allow me to begin to see what it means to carry out the ideals and principles which her father, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., worked the better part of his life to teach. for others." — Rosa Parks- Although this month is Black History Month, I'd like to take a moment to remind you, that we all have a legacy of some sort left to each of us to fulfill. Whether it be the ideals of your ancestors, or the dreams deferred by your parents, it is up to everyone to pick up where the one before you left off and carry on the torch. It matters not what race, ethnicity, nor background from which you come, we all have ideals, beliefs, and concerns that make our opinions and voices crucial to the future impact we will have on society. Feel free lo send in commentary, questions, I urge you to take time out, not just this month, but every month to talk to a relative or do some concerns, or thoughts about research and find out what legacy someone has began for you to carry out. It could just make a world The Obsidian to assistant editor of difference. Sheena Neal at [email protected].

"I would encourage students to take advantage of the opportunities they are being afforded the chance to be exposed to." There are a variety of people and back- grounds that are coming together here to make an effective difference in the future. It's up to each individual to make positive use of the time they have here. "Its really about making a choice..." You have to say I want to make a difference on this campus. H AJM: What audience do you feel your theatre productions ("Achieve the Dream") cater to and what message do you hope will ultimately reach them to make a difference? My message is designed for everyone, but I suppose it's particularly designed to reach the young people. I feel a commitment to reach them (young people) because sharing the legacy that began with the Civil Rights Movement helps to bridge the gap that is widening since my father's passing. I feel my plays "convey my message in a theatrical manner", providing a more tangible sense of the message of peace and tolerance. Also, there is some entertainment value provided to interest those who may not be knowledgeable of the need for the legacy to be fulfilled. AJM: I found through research that it was difficult to step into your current state of "peace" in fulfilling the legacy Dr. King began, what allowed you to move past your *% obstacles to arrive at this point in your life? It was the fact that I was not able to fully mourn my father's passing until my 30s* (look in to) that prevented me from being able to move on to the place that I am at now. It was necessary for me to make peace with the untimely death of my father. "I was angry with this country, not with any particular individual." But I was angry with the way in which some people failed to understand the dream my father had and the mission which he set out to accomplish, that his life was taken so violently. When I came to grips with the fact that he had accomplished his mission that God sent him to do, I was able to properly mourn and move in a forward direction with the work I've set out to do. AJM: Can you tell me a little bit about Dr. Martin Luther King the Father vs. The Public Figure? "I've had to separate my father from "Daddy" and Dr. King, the "public figure".
