Love does not insist on its own way; It is not irritable or resentfid; It does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things; believes all things; hopes all things; endures all things; Love never ends. Bea Valdez During Black History Week, you might enjoy reading about this subject.

Blacks in America: Then and Now, by Edgar A. Toppin With Black History Week recently proclaimed in Utah, we would like to pause and reflect on the thoughts of a great leader - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The flimsiness of this old world The cruelness of society The apartness that exists In the curtdin of disparity Veiled and threatening and hurled Against the wall of uncertainties Clouded over the mist Shadowed raked glorifies Stark reality cross the span With the emergence of a man. Helen Arnold, Akron, Ohio Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a grandson of a sharecropper, son of minister, brother to a minister, became a husband, father, scholar, statesman, leader, diplomat. His g roles few can attempt to duplicate. Those who knew him, those who met him will always treasure those days, hours, or fleeting minutes shared with this great man. He was born January 15, 1929 and died April 4, 1968 shot down and killed by a vicious killer. Although Dr. King was an advocate of non violence his actions often caused him intimate danger, having been stabbed while being televised, a inter-changin- having marched and been threatened, having protested and been jailed, having met and been bombed. Yet he continued marching, pleading, coercing, showing courage, poitraying patience, stubbornness and perseverance manifesting the role of a man chosen to lead his people. Dr. King, a winner of the Noble Teac-- Prize was ever mindful of peace and brotherhood and spoke out against the seiious lack in our society. He accepted the Nobel recognition that the answer to the crucial political and racial problems of our rimes. Peace Prize non-violen- in is Whether it was through or television, newspaper, personal contact, his eloquence was able to reach the smallest shack or the highest manor, bridging the gap from the ghetto to Wall street, leaving an imprint and impact upon society that even in his death is immortalized, from the conflict at Montgomery, Alabama when Rosa -- Famous Negro Heroes of Parks refused to move to the back of the bus because she was just plain tired and her feet hurt, to the crowded sidewalks of blacks walking to work dignifying their sacrifice with courage. When he could remain free he took his courage and returned to Montgomery joining brothers and sisters who were imprisoned for boycotting.

He met with world leaders, such as Bayard Rustin, Negru, the late Ralph Bunche, the late Robert Kennedy, A Model A. Philip Randolph, Roy Wilkins and many others. He received the Spingarn Medal awarded by the Cities NAACP and his name became symbolic of courage and hope for suppressed people everywhere. He became to some the president of black people. In all of the consequences that added to the profound life of Dr. King, the protests, the boycotts, the walking, the marches, the poor people's campaign, the March to Washington, have had a measurable influence on all of our lives. At the Freedom March held in Washington, D. C. August 28, 1963, Dr. King stood to speak to the crowd in what is now a famous speech, ''I Have a Dream". He ended that speech with these words: "When we allow freedom to ring from every town and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jew and Gentiles, Protestant and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual 'Free at last! Free at last! Great God Almighty, we are free at last.' " Quiet ensued and then a tremendous crash as two hundred fifty thousand claps of applause thundered across the sound waves. Some of Dr. King's last words were: "I want you to say that did try in my lifetime to cloth those who were naked; I want you to say on that day, that I did try in my life to visit those who were in prison; want you to say that tried to love and I I I serve humanity."
