Celebrating the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Injustice anywhere…

…is a threat to justice everywhere." Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968) was born Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had his name changed to Martin. His grandfather began the family’s long tenure as pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, serving from 1914 to 1931; his father served from 1931 until his death in 1984, and from 1960 until his death Martin acted as co-pastor. Martin attended segregated public schools in Georgia, graduating from high school at the age of fifteen; he received the B.A. degree in 1948 from Morehouse College, a distinguished Negro institution in Atlanta from which both his father and grandfather graduated. After three years of theological study at Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania where he was elected president of a predominantly white senior class, he was awarded his Bachelor’s in Divinity in 1951. With a fellowship won at Crozer, he enrolled in graduate studies at Boston University, completing his residence for the doctorate in 1953 and receiving the degree in 1955. In Boston he met and married Coretta Scott, a young woman of uncommon intellectual and artistic attainments. Two sons and two daughters were born into the family. In 1954, Martin Luther King accepted the pastorate of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, AL. Always a strong worker for civil rights for members of his race, King was, by this time, a member of the executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the leading organization of its kind in the nation. He was ready, then early in December

1955, to accept the leadership of the first great Negro nonviolent demonstration of contemporary times in the United States, the bus boycott described by Gunnar Jahn in his presentation speech in honor of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The boycott lasted 382 days. On December 21, 1956, after the Supreme Court of the United States had declared unconstitutional the laws requiring segregation on buses, Negroes and whites rode the buses as equals. During these days of boycott, King was arrested, his home was bombed, he was subjected to personal abuse, but at the same time he emerged as a Negro leader of the first rank. In 1957 he was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization formed to provide new leadership for the then burgeoning civil rights movement. The ideals for this organization he took from Christianity; its operational techniques from Gandhi.

In the eleven-year period between 1957 and 1968, King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times, appearing wherever there was injustice, protest, and action; and meanwhile he wrote five books as well as numerous articles. In these years, he led a massive protest in Birmingham, AL, that caught the attention of the entire world, providing what he called a coalition of conscience and inspiring his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” a manifesto of the Negro revolution. He planned the drives in Alabama for the registration of Negroes as voters; he directed the peaceful march on Washington, D.C., of 250,000 people to whom he delivered his address, “l Have a Dream;" he conferred with President John F. Kennedy and campaigned for President Lyndon B. Johnson; he was arrested upwards of twenty times and assaulted at least four times; he was awarded five honorary degrees; was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963; and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure. At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. When notified of his selection, he announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement. On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, TN, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated.

National & Local News

Gospel legend Andrae Crouch dead at 72

Andrae Crouch, often described as the “father of modern gospel music,” died Thursday, January 8, 2015 in Los Angeles after suffering a heart attack last week, according to news reports. Crouch has been hospitalized in recent years for a variety of health issues, including diabetes and cancer. “Today my twin brother, womb-mate and best friend went home to be with the Lord,” his twin sister, Sandra Crouch, said in statement via the Los Angeles Times. “Please keep me, my family and our church family in your prayers. I tried to keep him here but God loved him best.” Crouch won seven Grammy awards during his career and is credited with blending traditional black gospel music with R&B, pop and Christian music. Crouch led choirs that appeared on massive

pop hits such as Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” and Madonna’s “Like A Prayer.” He received an Academy Award nomination for his compositions for “The Color Purple,” and his music can be heard in “The Lion King” musical, too. His achievements were all the more remarkable as his dyslexia made it impossible for him to read music. The notes would look upside down, he said. “I memorized everything through sight, the shape of the word,” Crouch told The Associated Press in 2011. “Some things that I write, you’ll see a page with cartoon pictures or a drawing of a car — like a Ford — or a flag. I still do it on an occasion when a word is strange to me. So when I finish a song, I thank God for bringing me through,” he contin-

Andraé Crouch ued. “You have to press on and know your calling. That’s what I’ve been doing for all my life. I just went forward.” “His music, simple and direct, many times has the soothing melodies of a pop song rather than a hymn,” Washington Post critic Hollie West wrote of the young Crouch in 1977. Crouch and his twin sister were pastors of the New

Christ Memorial Church in San Fernando, CA. Their parents founded Christ Memorial Church in Pacoima, a Los Angeles suburb. Crouch and Sandra took over after losing both parents and a brother within months of each other in 1994. They renamed their parents’ church after Crouch made his sister a co-pastor at a time when it was verboten to ordain women in the Church of God in Christ. Crouch started his music career before he was in his teens. He told Decision, the magazine of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, that his mother bought him a cardboard keyboard when he was 11, and he taught himself to play piano by accompanying the choir at a church where his father used to preach — all improvisation. He composed

“The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power,” or simply “The Blood,” when he was just 14. It’s now considered a standard. In 1965, he formed Andraé Crouch and the Disciples. Martin Luther King, Jr., once said the most segregated hour in Christian America was 11 a.m. Sunday morning. Crouch’s talent transcended that. His songs could be found in the hymn books of white and black churches alike. Paul Simon recorded “Jesus is the Answer,” a Crouch composition, on his album “Paul Simon in Concert: Live Rhymin’.” Elvis recorded “I’ve Got Confidence,” also by Crouch, for his 1972 gospel album. Like Mahalia Jackson and James Cleveland, Crouch was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Clifford Adams, Kool & the Gang trombonist, dead at 62 Clifford Adams, trombonist for iconic American jazz-funk group Kool & the Gang, died on Monday, January 12, 2015 after a year-long battle with liver cancer, according to NJ.com. He was 62. The musician, hospitalized at Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton, N.J., had been without health insurance to cover medical expenses for quite some time, according to the reports. His family and friends threw

several fundraisers in recent months to help cover the cost of Adams’ liver transplant. They had also received support from a nonprofit organization called Jazz Bridge, which was created to help out local musicians. “Clifford Adams was a marvelous musician, an important musician, not only in the Philadelphia-Trenton area but both nationally and the world,” Suzanne Cloud, executive director and cofounder of Jazz Bridge, said

Clifford Adams

in a statement. Kool & the Gang trumpeter Michael Ray also mourned the loss of his band mate. “This was my closest and my oldest friend,” he said to NJ.com. “If you knew Cliff, you knew his infectious smile and his strong spirit… He was powered by family values and he was one of the baddest trombone players in all the planet.” Kool & the Gang have sold over 70 million albums since the Jersey-based band was

formed in 1964. A few of their most notable hits over the decades include “Celebration,” “Get Down on It” and “Ladies Night.” In addition to playing trombone with Kool & the Gang, Adams also played in several other bands and with several other notable musicians, including Duke Ellington, Patti LaBelle and the Bluebells and The Stylistics. He also released two solo albums, “The Master Power” and “I Feel Your Spirit.”

Rebuilding Our Community

By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special for the Milwaukee Times

Just one more thing

Don’t look now... we are picking up where we left off in 2014 in Milwaukee... more gun violence in our community. For most of us as we witness a turnaround in the economy, stock markets rising to new heights, gas prices coming down, troops coming home, more Americans getting health insurance, more assistance being given towards keeping people in their homes... we all were hoping for the best and praying for a sharp reduction in crime as well. That was my hope and I am sure I was not alone. But here we are and already peo-

ple have been shot and killed in homes, cars and on the street... and they are all Black. Recently, I reviewed the crime statistics in Milwaukee since 2005 and many things stood out... 926 homicides and over 4000 non-fatal shootings over the past 10 years. Yes! When you see the chart, your eyes, head and heart will begin to hurt. This tells me that nearly 5000 families have also been affected, traumatized and also have become victims in a vicious cycle that seems to never end. However, the more glaring stat that stands

out is that nearly 80 percent in each category, the victim and the suspect were Black. And when you add it all up, the persistent Black on Black crime is unacceptable. Life is hard enough as it is to just make it, find a livable wage job, affordable housing, get an education... but to continue down this path of community self-destruction through gun violence is beyond and defies common sense or logic. The varied opinions, endless debates over what is good for the community; by so many who chose to look the other way, others who will not discuss it and some who just give lip

service... is also a matter of grave concern. What will it take to change the situation, environment, minds and hearts of those who see no way out but to resolve their issues through the only means possible is a mystery? Is it because of a lack of education, feelings of hopelessness, desperation, poverty, mental health, no jobs, rejection, drug use, depression, oppression, left behind, and racism ... or have we just lost our way in the New Jim Crow? Can it be that we as a nation have lost our moral compass and have created a culture that only benefits the rich while taking more from the poor? Have we found it acceptable to have a permanent underclass of citizens that are always kept from reaching the ladders of opportunity or have the ability meet the rising bar of expectations? The issues are very complex, hard to put your hands around... but each day the beat goes on, on and on. And

you know what, Milwaukee is not alone. What do you think? Dr. Andrew Calhoun, can be contacted at andrewiiicalhoun@ gmail.com, Twitter #AC53, and Facebook. You can hear Dr. Calhoun each Sunday at Grace Fellowship Church, 3879 N. Port Washington Rd. Milwaukee 414-265-5546.

New Year’s resolves (Week 2) Eating healthy begins with building a healthy plate. ChooseMyPlate.gov suggests that we all should eat for the heath of it. Before you eat, think about what goes on your plate or in your cup or bowl. Foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and lean protein foods contain the nutrients you need without too many calories. Try some of these options. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. • Eat red, orange, and dark-green vegetables, such as tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli, in main and side dishes. • Eat fruit, vegetables, or unsalted nuts as snacks— they are nature’s original fast foods. Switch to skim or 1 percent milk. • They have the same amount of calcium and other essential nutrients as whole milk, but less fat and calories. • Try calcium-fortified soy products as an alternative to

dairy foods. Make at least half your grains whole. • Choose 100 percent whole-grain cereals, breads, crackers, rice, and pasta. • Check the ingredients list on food packages to find whole-grain foods. Vary your protein food choices. • Twice a week, make seafood the protein on your plate. • Eat beans, which are a natural source of fiber and

protein. • Keep meat and poultry portions small and lean. Cut back on foods high in solid fats, added sugars and salt. Many people eat foods with too much solid fat, added sugar and salt (sodium). Added sugars and fats load foods with extra calories you don’t need. Too much sodium may increase your blood pressure. Choose foods and drinks with little or no added sug-

ars. • Drink water instead of sugary drinks. There are about 10 packets of sugar in a 12-ounce can of soda. • Select fruit for dessert. Eat sugary desserts less often. • Choose 100 percent fruit juice instead of fruit-flavored drinks. Look out for salt (sodium) in foods you buy. • Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals—and choose the foods with lower numbers. • Add spices or herbs to season food without adding salt. Eat fewer foods that are high in solid fats. • Make major sources of saturated fats—such as cakes, cookies, ice cream, pizza, cheese, sausages, and hot dogs—occasional choices, and not everyday foods. • Select lean cuts of meats or poultry and fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese.

• Switch from solid fats to oils when preparing food. Beloved, the bottom line is what you choose to eat each day affects your health, how you feel today, tomorrow and in the future. Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle.

Wisconsin Assembly changes to accountability law are a step backward By Michael Bonds, Ph.D. President, Milwaukee Board of School Directors I don’t always agree with the Wisconsin Legislature on matters of public education, but Wisconsin got it right when it adopted the current state law promoting school accountability for all publicly funded students. The current law is thoughtful, fair and it lets parents and taxpayers make an apples-to-apples comparison of performance for publicly funded students, whether the students are in public, voucher or private schools. We’ve waited for this legislation for more than 20 years, since the first voucher schools were created in Milwaukee. That’s why an accountability proposal just introduced in the Wisconsin Assembly, Assembly Bill 1, while well intended, is just plain wrong. Less than a year after a comprehensive school accountability law was enacted – and before it has even been put fully into practice – the Assembly wants to change it. This proposed change by the Wisconsin Assembly is a step backward. It provides less

transparency, creates confusion, punishes public schools and their students and takes control away from locally elected school boards. • Under the current accountability law, all publicly funded students take the same tests so taxpayers and parents can make a true comparison of results. It’s good common sense. Assembly Bill 1 would create a hodgepodge of tests schools could take, making it impossible for anyone to see if schools were truly effective and impracticable for parents to determine which schools are performing best • Schools working hard to improve wouldn’t receive assistance under Assembly Bill 1, they’d be punished, closed and taken over by privately run charter schools. MPS’ experience has been that structured intervention and additional supports help lowperforming schools improve and we’re seeing that transformation in several of our schools including Franklin, Grant, Curtin, Carver and Gwen T. Jackson. There are also cross sector efforts underway now to improve outcomes for all students.

rable data to make decisions. Just as importantly, MPS has also developed a plan to help those schools that struggle the most. MPS has identified 14 Commitment Schools. These are some of our lowest performing schools and they receive additional help and support to improve student achievement. In addition, all of our

schools with the lowest ranking on the most recent state report card are receiving additional assistance. Taxpayers and parents have the right to know how well publicly funded schools are performing. Assembly Bill 1 is a step backward and takes the wrong steps to improve student achievement.

Michael Bonds, Ph.D. • Locally elected and locally accountable school boards know their schools and communities best. Assembly Bill 1 would remove local control by appointing a non-elected, statewide accountability board that would determine which schools stay open and which are closed and turned over to private companies to run I believe strongly in holding schools accountable when they fall short. Since the 2011-12 school year, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors has voted to close or terminate the contracts of 31 MPS schools. While never easy, each of these decisions was made in the best interest of students using compa-

She earned bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completed the program and and doctoral degrees. Even began her studies at UWM.

Mark A. Mone A single mom of two children, Jennifer had the support of her employers and worked throughout her time as a student. Last month, she graduated with a degree in criminal justice. Jennifer is employed full time with the I Have a Dream Foundation.

Honor student Christopher Medina Kirchner described himself as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lowincome, first-generation minority studentâ&#x20AC;? who, â&#x20AC;&#x153;if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for education I do not know where I would be right now.â&#x20AC;? Christopher was involved in gangs and drugs and dropped out of high school when he was a sophomore. After earning his GED, Christopher wanted to change his life and enrolled at UWM, where we are known for our access as well as our research mission. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even think I would get in, but they accepted me. At this point my life completely changed.â&#x20AC;? Working with UWMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McNair Scholars program, Christopher applied himself and went from a low grade point average to a high level that earned him Honors status at his graduation in December.

Along the way, Christopher became interested in brain imaging and neuropsychology. He did research in labs and presented academic papers at national conferences. He was a teaching assistant, and is heading to graduate school. Jennifer and Christopher are just a couple of examples of the inspiring individuals who graduate from UWM and go on to positively impact others in our world. Our university graduates large numbers of students and is the most diverse campus in Wisconsin. It is the individual stories of people such as Jennifer and Christopher that show how powerful higher education can be. As we celebrate the birth and impact of Martin Luther King Jr., let us remember his wise words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Intelligence plus character â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is the goal of true education.â&#x20AC;?

Why making education your New Year's resolution is a smart decision Heralding a new year with vows to improve your life is a practice that actually stretches back to antiquity. Though the New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day we celebrate on Jan. 1 was set by the Roman calendar, some historians believe the idea of marking a new year with resolutions started 4,000 with the Babylonians, who celebrated their new year after the vernal equinox, according to History.com. Their idea of resolutions, however, seemed to center around returning borrowed farm equipment and paying debts. The idea of using a new year to embark on self-improvement has lingered 40 centuries. Statisticbrain.com, citing a report by the University of Scrantonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Journal of Clinical Psychology, said 45 percent of us frequently resolve to be better in some way when the calendar turns to the next year. We vow to lose weight (the top resolution) or become more organized (the second most common) or be wiser with our money by saving more or spending less (the third most common). Education among the most popular New Year's resolutions Resolutions of self-improvement related to education are actually the most common general category of New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day vows, at 47 percent, the report said.

ing yourself, resolving to go back to school and following through with it can provide a lot of benefits - ones that can last longer than an attempt to become organized. One of the main benefits of finishing your college degree is a bigger paycheck. People with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree earn about 50 percent more than those with a high school diploma, and 22 percent more than those with an associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Returning for a graduate degree can also pay substantial dividends. The center found workers with a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree out-earned those with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree by 21 percent. Those numbers are for people with jobs. Returning to school can also improve your chance of getting work. A report from the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University on the recessionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on high school graduates showed only 30 percent of high school graduates have a full-time job compared to about twice that percentage for college graduates. Using a degree to launch a new career Completing a degree or getting a new one can also launch another career or snag a significant promotion at your current job. (Continued on pg. 23)

Flu season coming in strong

Prevention starts with you. Protect yourself. By: Raymond Zastrow, MD, Medical Officer for Molina Healthcare of Wisconsin Although this year’s flu season is well underway, it is not too late to protect yourself against the dangerous virus. As a physician for Molina Healthcare, I remind my patients how important it is to get their annual flu vaccination even when the vaccine is less effective than usual. Flu (short for influenza) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses that are constantly evolving. These viruses spread extremely quickly; and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the seasonal influenza for 20142015 is shaping up to be a bad one. Early data has detected variants of the H3N2 virus, a virus that caused severe flu illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths in the past. Despite efforts to develop vaccines to prevent or lessen flu symptoms, the current vaccine does not protect against a mutation found in the H3N2 strain. The good news is that the flu vaccine is still 45 to 50 percent effective. It does provide some level of protection and vaccinated people often experience milder illness if they do become infected. Symptoms of H3N2 and the seasonal flu are similar. Usually they emerge within two days after being exposed to the viruses, and people contracting them might experience: • Fever or feeling feverish/chills • Cough • Sore throat • Runny or stuffy nose • Muscle or body aches • Headaches • Fatigue • Vomiting and diarrhea (this is more common in children than adults) Vaccine and prevention The best defense against the flu is to get vaccinated. It also helps to wash our hands, keep eating right, sleeping well and exercising regularly. According to the CDC, flu vaccination has prevented 13.59 million flu cases since 2006 (and as a result, 5.8 million medically attended illnesses and 112,875 hospital admissions). Who should get vaccinated? The CDC recommends that everyone older than 6 months of age get vaccinated. The following groups are at higher risk and are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated: • Children ages 6 months to 5 years old • Adults 50 years and older • People of any age with

certain chronic health conditions, such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease •Women who are pregnant •People in nursing homes or long term care facilities A common concern is that the flu vaccine will actually give people the flu. However, multiple medical studies have shown this to be false. Respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms, which sometimes occur immediately after the vaccine, are often due to coincidental infection with other non-influenza viruses. Known side effects of the vaccine include low grade fever as well as body aches; these symptoms usually subside in one or two days and are far less severe than the actual illness. For most people there are no side effects from the flu vaccine and the benefits far outweigh the potential for minor discomforts. The H3N2 virus is vicious and leaves everybody exposed. But not everybody is protected, and contracting the flu could have fatal consequences. In fact, as of December 20, 2014, 15 deaths have been reported. These numbers alone demonstrate how severe the flu season could be. The flu is now widespread in Wisconsin. Visit your health care provider before you start sneezing. Instead of spreading the virus, spread prevention. Get a flu shot now to enjoy a healthy season, it’s worth it!

Special Features: A Tribute to MLK

The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. By The Late Coretta Scott King Special to the Milwaukee Times

We have set in motion a great celebration of freedom and justice, in honor of America’s hero and patriot, Reprint from 1985, during the Martin Luther King, Jr. passage of the King Holiday bill When Martin began his by the U.S. Senate. career, the principles of so-

cial justice for which he stood were very controversial. But by the end of his career he was a widely respected leader of international stature, who helped lead an extraordinary revolution in America’s laws

The late Coretta Scott King and customs. Martin’s moving example of dignity in the face of threats and hatred gave the whole nation a new hero to admire and emulate. Martin knew that America’s democracy was not perfect. But he also knew that, when aroused, America’s conscience could be a powerful force for reform. His unique combination of moral leadership and practical political wisdom enlisted America’s conscience on the side of peaceful change. His memory is engraved in the hearts and minds of his fellow Americans, and it is appropriate, as the President and the Congress have said, to remember and honor the values for which he stood. Each year, Martin’s national birthday celebration will rekindle in the hearts of all our people a new pride in America, a determination to make it an even greater nation. It will also spark a new appreciation for its son, who was born into a world where

bigotry and racism still hold sway. But before he died, he contributed immeasurably to the human rights of all people. In my travels to the 50 states and U.S. territories as chairperson of the King Federal Holiday Commission, I find that Americans from all walks of life and every political persuasion share a common enthusiasm and excitement as we prepare to celebrate what has been called by President Reagan “A Celebration of Freedom and Justice to Unite All Our Citizens.” There is a spirit of unity and good will sweeping this land. People of all races,religions, classes, politics and stations in life are coming together and putting aside differences in a spirit of reconciliation to make Monday, January 20, 1985 “Martin’s Day,” a day of great national unity and renewed patriotism consistent with the non-violent tradition of the man we prepare to honor. It was not too long ago that Martin painted a vivid picture of what an America united would look like...an America in which all children could grow up to realize their full potential. January 20, 1985 must be seen as a way to reflect that vision, a way to celebrate the life and legacy of a man with a dream for all seasons. The special recognition accorded Martin by the American people provides a unique opportunity for all Americans to reaffirm their faith in nonviolence at a time (Continued on pg. 17)

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led the civil rights movement and fought for racial equality with something much stronger than tolerance (part 1 of 2) By Charles Gilmer The lingering vestiges of America's racist past present a serious challenge to the hope that many hold for a nation that lives out its most cherished values - liberty and justice for all. Persistent recurrences of racial incidents such as Jena, LA, remind us that hatred and animosity still fester. Suspicion lurks under the surface of many interactions. Even the government's response to Hurricane Katrina is often criticized as manifesting discernible racial discrepancies. Movies like "Crash," and the news coverage of the Duke University lacrosse team sex-party debacle, and even the prospect of a Black presidential nominee in the 2008 election remind us of the tenuous and fragile nature of racial harmony in the United States of America. We seem to live under an uneasy truce. It has been four and a half decades since the 1963 March on Washington where Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech was delivered. Yet none of us can say we have fully lived up to Dr. King's vision of a land where each person would be judged by the content of their character, rather than the color of their skin. Tensions continue, and weekly we hear of yet another incident somewhere in our country where race is presented as a precipitating factor. Things are different today than they were 45 years ago. Yet the questions remains; why has it been so difficult for us to embrace and consistently live out Dr. King's dream? What has become of Martin Luther King's dream? In the wake of the civil rights movement in which Dr. King was so dramatically used, there came a flood of social programs that sought to address the causes and consequences of racism. Cultural education, cross cultural dialogue, and the current multi-culturalism all hearken back to the civil rights movement for their mandates. In the pursuit of the rights of various groups, under the civil rights umbrella, one thing has become clear. That which was called right by one group is often called wrong by another. Rather than resolving the differences, tolerance is championed as the appropriate response to the varying perspectives that have emerged. Yet tolerance has no cohesive nor healing power in society. It means little more than leaving one another alone. It leads to indifference, not understand-

ing. Tolerance allows the gulfs between us to remain in place. In fact, there is little in the concept of tolerance to pull us away from racial isolation. Tolerance brings with it an implicit moral relativism. Who is to say what is right and what is wrong? Moral relativism suggests that there are no absolutes to which we can all be held accountable. Such a thing was far from the thinking of Martin Luther King. In one of his works Dr. King made the following statements: "At the center of the Christian faith is the affirmation

of infinite love and boundless power, God is the creator, sustainer, and conserver of values....In contrast to the ethical relativism of [totalitarianism], Christianity sets forth a system of absolute moral values and affirms that God has placed within the very structure of this universe certain moral that there is a God in the uni- principles that are fixed and verse who is the ground and immutable." essence of all reality. A Being Dr. King did not speak

in terms of tolerance. His ideal was love. "Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." (Strength to Love, p. 51) Yet, in current discussions of race relations the word love is seldom mentioned. Dr. King insisted love was the dominant or critical value by which we could overcome racial strife. The love he spoke of was a biblical love, one that is unconditional, unselfish and seeks the absolute good of another party. That kind of love is a tough love, one that confronts wrong and injustice with the truth -- absolute truth as decreed by an all powerful God and enables the individual to love their enemy.

"Man Of The Year" in 1963 and a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1964. Monday we will celebrate his life and work. As many enjoy this three-day weekend, I encourage you to take time to think about the legacy that Dr. King left behind. The leadership lessons that he gave the world are as important today as they were then. Watch his “I Have A Dream,“ speech (18 min.) or go see the movie “Selma.” You’ll see why King developed a followership that numbered in the millions. It takes a special person and an incredible leader to develop that kind of following. There are many lessons we can learn from Dr. King about being a better person and a better leader. Here are some of the things he has

taught me: 1. Have total commitment. There are times as a leader when you will have to stand up and do what’s right. Dr. King was a man who had a dream bigger than the times in which he lived. He stayed committed to his vision even when he knew it was unpopular and his life was in danger. He was arrested upward of 25 times and assaulted at least four reported times. Are you bringing that level of intensity and dedication to your work? 2. Embrace fear. King was scared before every speech and worried that his points wouldn’t be well received or that he would be met with violent protests. But he faced his fears head on. King’s willingness to embrace his fear is a great lesson for leaders. (Continued on pg. 20)

The legacy of MLK

world to cease all violent actions, seek non-violent solutions and demonstrate that peace is not just a dream but a real possibility, if only for one day. We have come too far to be discouraged or to lose hope or to stop believing in the dream. If we believe in the justice for which he died, if we embrace his dream of a community where we can all come to love and care for one another, we will strive to complete his unfinished agenda, we will make his unfinished work our own. Let us be grateful for the providence that sends among us men and women with the courage and vision to stand peacefully but unyieldingly for what is right. Let us also make this a time when we rededicate ourselves to carry on the work of justice. Martin showed how much good a single life, well led, can accomplish. Let Americans honor his memory by pledging in their own lives to do everything they can to make America a place where his dream of freedom and brotherhood and sisterhood will grow up and flourish and we can all be proud to sing with new meaning, “From every mountainside, Let freedom ring.” Coretta Scott King, widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was chairperson of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Commission and President of The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc. She died in 2006.

(Continued from pg. 15) when violence in all its ugly forms seems to be a way of life. It also gives Americans a special moment to reaffirm their support for Martin’s beloved community and for the values that distinguish our republic in this troubled world. The commission has chosen “Living the Dream” as its theme for the birthday celebration. We see “Martin’s Day” - the third Monday of each year - as: ...a day to celebrate the life and dream of Martin Luther King Jr... ...a day to reaffirm the American ideals of freedom, justice and opportunity for all... ...a day for love, not hate; for understanding, not anger; for peace, not war... ...a day for the family to share together, to reach out to relatives and friends and to mend broken relationships... ...a day when people of all races, religions, classes and stations in life put aside their differences and join in a spirit of togetherness... ...a day for our nation to pay tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., who awakened in us the best qualities of the American spirit... ...a day for nations of the

Leadership lessons from MLK (Continued from pg. 17) For example, we may fear competition, failure, or new technology in today’s business environment, but instead of shying away it is important to face these obstacles and not to be afraid of change. 3. Disrupt the status quo. Dr. King knew that his dream was more important than the status quo. His actions shook up the popular culture of the time. Sometimes doing things different is necessary for evolution and innovation. He used

the words “creative tension” to explain that fairness and change come only when you shake things up. Dr. King never accepted that just because things were a certain way, it made them right. How can you shake up the status quo in your corporate culture or business values? 4. Paint a vivid picture. Leaders should never grow weary of articulating their dream or vision. They have to help their followers see what they see. Make sure the team knows why they do what they do. Talk about the real reason for the business and whom the business is helping. Do you have a vision for your company? Do you talk about how your actions, campaigns and products back up that vision? 5. Involve everyone. King inspired community involve-

ment because people wanted to be part of something bigger than themselves. In business, people really perform when they feel like they are part of something special. King used to say, “People derive inspiration from involvement.” So the lesson here is to get your people involved

in the dream and the planning of attaining it. Build “buy in” by encouraging involvement, collaboration and new ideas. 6. Always help others. We’ve all heard the term “servant leadership.” Well, King had it down to a science. He dedicated his life to helping others, and people would follow him anywhere. Every day we have the opportunity to help others. We can dedicate our time to making sure the people who work for us feel supported and have what they need to be successful. It’s incredibly rewarding to help others achieve their dreams. Just ask yourself each day, “What am I doing for others?” 7. Never give up on your dreams. King reminds us that even when crawling, the important thing is to

keep moving forward. Look, crawling isn’t necessarily a dignified position to be in, but if it allows you to continue to move forward and reach your goal, that’s what will be remembered. While his life was cut tragically short, he died in pursuit of his dream and in spite of everything he faced, he never gave up on it. I encourage you to take the time to study his life and learn a little more about a man who was a true leader. Any time you can find leaders like King, it’s worth taking the time to discover what made them so successful. Apply a few of King’s strategies to you own personal or professional life and see the difference it makes. Brad Larsen is a life coach and corporate consultant from northern Utah.

Making education your New Year's resolution (Continued from pg. 11) Promotion to a management or supervisory job in many fields is becoming more dependent on an advanced degree such as an MBA that can open jobs such as financial officer, HR director or healthcare administrator. In nursing, an increasing number of employers want nurses who stepped beyond an RN to get a bachelor’s of nursing. In the field of education, the median salary for principals is more than $30,000 higher than a high school teacher’s pay, but moving from the classroom to administration usually requires a graduate degree. Tips for sticking with a New Year’s resolution Unfortunately, the University of Scranton journal also found 49 percent of those making resolutions rated their success as infrequent

while 24 percent reported no success at all. But as a resolution, returning to school allows you to take some steps that are outlined in an article on Forbes. com to avoid being among those 49 percent. One reason resolutions flounder is a failure to plan and see obstacles to overcome, the article said. Well, it’s impossible to return to school without planning for it. You can see problems such as scheduling and financing and find ways around them. Another reason for failure revolves on making resolutions in which you take on too much burden. With education, a student can set their own course load and study requirements, especially with online classes. And a third reason for failure is not being accountable, the article said. But if you want to pass the course or get the degree, your instructors will hold you highly accountable. Also, failure can come from a resolution that wasn’t important, the article said. But improving your career, paycheck or making yourself happier and more secure are all hard to top for importance.
