MARTIN KING LUTHER MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 2015 2015 STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA STATE 2015 COMMEMORATION & CELEBRATION & CELEBRATION COMMEMORATION SPONSORED BY Dr. Christina King Farris is the eldest sister of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the only living member of the family of origin. Dr. Farris recently retired as the oldest member of the faculty at Spelman College in Atlanta College where she graduated in the same year her brother Martin graduated from Morehouse College. This greeting is an exclusive to the 2015 State MLK Celebration in tribute to West Virginia’s recognition of Dr. King’s birthday as a State holiday before it became a National holiday. To Governor Earl Ray Tomblin and Dr. Carolyn Stuart, Executive Director of the Herbert Henderson Office of Minority Affairs, I bring greetings to the Martin Luther King Jr., State Holiday Commission and the people of the “Mountain State” of West Virginia, where “Mountaineers are always free”. I was surprised and pleased to learn that West Virginia led the nation in declaring Dr. King’s Birthday a State Holiday before it became a national holiday. I understand that this was the result of House Bill 1368 initiated by Delegates Booker Stephens and Ernest Moore which established the King Holiday as a State Celebration in 1982—four years before it was officially declared a national holiday in 1986. I pray that God’s richest blessing be with all who diligently work for justice, equality, and peace in pursuit of my brother’s vision of the “beloved community.” Dr.

  • January 19 2015, Martin Luther King, Jr
    OMNI MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY, JANUARY 19, 2015. http://jamesrichardbennett.blogspot.com/2015/01/martin-luther-king-jr- day-2015.html Compiled by Dick Bennett for a Culture of Peace and Justice (Revised January 22) OMNI’s newsletters offer all a free storehouse of information and arguments for discussions, talks, and writings—letters to newspapers, columns, magazine articles. What’s at stake: Who was Martin Luther King, Jr.? The Incomplete Legacy: An introduction to this newsletter In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr., stood before Lincoln’s statue in Washington, D.C. to say to the tens of millions of people watching there and on television, “I have a dream,” and to call upon the citizens of the United States to heed its ideals of freedom, equality, and brotherhood. He did not challenge the existing social order of the nation; rather his crusade was against an aberrant order, the “Jim Crow” system of discrimination of the old South. By 1968 King’s vision was darker. He had taken up the anti-war cause, decrying his country’s war in Vietnam as approaching genocide, and condemning U. S. militarism and imperialism. And in 1968 King was preparing an assault on the class structure of the nation in defense of the nation’s poor but was murdered before he could begin his most radical campaign. King’s work against war and poverty left undone has been overshadowed by his success as a civil rights leader—his complete vision obscured. The goal of all peace and justice groups should be to uncover the whole legacy of this historic proponent of racial equality, world peace, and economic justice.

Because this also had a vital role on helping Martin Luther King become who he was. His parents names where Martin Luther King sr., who was his father and Alberta Williams King, who was his mother. His father was a preacher, just like his son would be. His mother was a teacher. They got married in 1926. Shortly after, Martin sister was born in 1927. Then Martin Luther King, in 1929. A year later, his brother was born in 1930. His parents had a big influence on who he was. His parents taught him about injustices and how to respond to them. His mother taught him about the history of slavery and told “Even though some people make you feel bad or angry, you should not show it. You are as good as anyone else”. As Martin Luther King grew, he began to notice and understand this. In the top left, Martin Luther King jr.’s Parents, Martin Luther King sr., and Alberta Williams King.

  • Martin Luther King Jr
    Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American Baptist minister and activist who The Reverend became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the American civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. King Martin Luther King Jr. advanced civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience, inspired by his Christian beliefs and the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi. He was the son of early civil rights activist Martin Luther King Sr. King participated in and led marches for blacks' right to vote, desegregation, labor rights, and other basic civil rights.[1] King led the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott and later became the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). As president of the SCLC, he led the unsuccessful Albany Movement in Albany, Georgia, and helped organize some of the nonviolent 1963 protests in Birmingham, Alabama. King helped organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The SCLC put into practice the tactics of nonviolent protest with some success by strategically choosing the methods and places in which protests were carried out. There were several dramatic stand-offs with segregationist authorities, who sometimes turned violent.[2] FBI King in 1964 Director J. Edgar Hoover considered King a radical and made him an 1st President of the Southern Christian object of the FBI's COINTELPRO from 1963, forward. FBI agents investigated him for possible communist ties, recorded his extramarital Leadership Conference affairs and reported on them to government officials, and, in 1964, In office mailed King a threatening anonymous letter, which he interpreted as an attempt to make him commit suicide.[3] January 10, 1957 – April 4, 1968 On October 14, 1964, King won the Nobel Peace Prize for combating Preceded by Position established racial inequality through nonviolent resistance.

  • Barack Obama and the Struggle Over Martin Luther King's Legacy
    Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric, Vol. 8, No.3, 2018, pp. 157-172. Children in the Dream: Barack Obama and the Struggle over Martin Luther King’s Legacy David Deifell The rhetoricity in the relationship between Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech and the election of Obama reveals hopes and anxieties about contemporary race relations. Examining the connection between an old rhetoric and its new realities, this study elaborates on the implications of popular articulations of Obama’s initial election to King’s Dream. Drawing on theories of constitutive rhetoric and interpellation, the essay frames King's speech as a constitutive narrative with which we imagine race in America. Beyond its rhetorical situation, the speech continues shaping us as its political subjects, children of the Dream. An analysis of competing characteriza- tions of Obama regarding that subject positioning elaborates on the rhetorical tension that developed into the de- bate about whether society has become post-racial or not. Perhaps innocent exuberance at first, the King-Obama link lays bare the consequences of positions Americans take in relation to increasingly divergent ideologies about race in America. Keywords: constitutive rhetoric, post-race, King, Obama, interpellation, narrative, subject position I think he has fulfilled Martin Luther King’s Dream of there being a Black American Presi- dent, and that’s cool. Haria Sedu, 13-year-old Ghanaian student NPR, All Things Considered, 10 July 091 In anticipation of President Obama’s first trip to Africa after being elected, this youth’s remark identifies Obama as the mythic fulfillment of King.

  • A Comparison of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X in the Black And
    A Comparison of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X in the Black and Mainstream Press, 1955-2011 Daniel Cruden A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2014 ii iii Abstract Most historians of the black protest movement claim that the mainstream media misrepresented Martin Luther King and Malcolm X as opposing figures, without detailing how the media achieved this, how these representations influenced King and Malcolm X’s posthumous media images, or how African-American media representations of the pair differed from mainstream representations. In order to understand how this misrepresentation came to be, and what its implications were for memory of the two after their deaths, this thesis examines the representation of King and Malcolm X in mainstream and African-American newspapers from the beginnings of their public careers until 2011. Newspapers drew on their pre-existing views of American race relations to evaluate the importance of King and Malcolm X. During their lifetimes newspapers selectively conveyed the ideologies of both men, embracing King’s leadership while distrusting Malcolm X. After their deaths, newspapers sanctified King and discussed him extensively, often confining his significance to the battle against legal segregation in the South. Newspapers gave Malcolm X less attention at first, but rehabilitated him later, beginning with African-American newspapers. The failure of the black protest movement to end racial disparities in standards of living, combined with King’s appropriation by the mainstream media, paved the way for much greater attention to Malcolm X by the late 1980s.
