  • 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.

  • 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.

    The Fierce Urgency of Now: Building Bridges of Department of Administrative Services Justice, Equality, Mike DeWine, Governor Jon Husted, Lt. Governor Matt Damschroder, Director and Unity Ohio Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Commission 2021 Calendar Ohio Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Commission Dear Reader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led with a fierce urgency to bring change and build understanding. His enduring hope for a better tomorrow is fitting today as we enter 2021 and emerge from a year of uncertainty and change. The theme of this year’s calendar – The Fierce Urgency of Now: Building Bridges of Justice, Equality, and Unity – captures his legacy of acting today to bring a better tomorrow. Inspired by the recent loss of Congressman John Lewis and Cordy Tindell Vivian, as well as the historic recent events calling for social justice, this year’s calendar features civil rights leaders and icons whose fearless resolve in the face of intolerance continue to inspire us today. Their wise words are moving today as we carry on Dr. King’s pursuit of nonviolent change through positive activism in our communities. Typically, this calendar showcases outstanding Ohio youth who competed in the Statewide MLK Oratorical Contest. However, the 2020 contest was canceled due to the pandemic. We look forward to resuming this wonderful tradition of highlighting exceptional Ohio students who share Dr. King’s oratorical gifts in the future.

  • March 29, 2021 an Open Letter to Corporate Leaders And
    March 29, 2021 An Open Letter to Corporate Leaders and Lawmakers: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Evil cannot permanently organize. It bears within it seeds of its own destruction." This belief undergirds our abiding faith in America, even as legislators in Georgia and 39 other states attempt to root our nation in the oppressive weeds of yesterday through a new generation of Jim Crow voting laws. Rather than sowing seeds to provide democracy the greatest chance to grow today and prevail tomorrow, legislators are attempting to transport us back to the shameful period of American history when mass voter suppression for communities of color was the law of the land. Georgia has a long and tragic history of restricting access to the polls, especially for black and brown voters. Voter suppression is well documented and continues to this day. The national spotlight is on Georgia because of our sordid past. Far too many of our lawmakers failed to take a stand and corporations did not go far enough to ensure every voting citizen had fair and equitable access to the most basic of American rights – the right to participate in the electoral process; the right to have a voice in our shared future. The failure of corporate leaders across our state to live up to their racial equity commitments made in the last year disregards and disrespects our fathers' tireless work and jeopardizes the soul of Georgia and the promise of democracy. With Rev. CT Vivian and Congressman John Lewis' recent passing, as America experienced a racial reckoning that swept our nation in 2020, the Atlanta civic and business community rallied together and committed to driving systemic change.
