17 WCU honors Kings dream of racial equality by Kelli E. McNair * WCnewsmagazine WCnewsmagazine police brutality and numerous arrests. In 1958 he nearly died when a deranged woman stabbed him with a letter-opener in Harlem; the instrument was so close that had he sneezed, his aorta would have been punctured. But something protected his life. In many ways, 1963-64 was the climax of his career. It was April of 1963 when he penned his immortal Letter From Birmingham Jail, in which he painstakingly built a historical case for the civil and human rights movements that enveloped him. If anyone desires a concise, but complete, statement of his ideas, one must read this letter; it is here that he famously quotes St. Augustine of Hippo: An unjust law is no law at all. Just four months later, he shared with the entire world his dream for America a nation in which my four little children could live, not being judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. If he urged Americans to compose a symphony of brotherhood, certainly he was the conductor. The capstone of his whole life was the awarding BORN of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway, on December 10, 1964. This honor foreshadowed his ) AN UA RY 1 ? , 1 7 2 7 involvement in the growing protest over the Vietnam War. It seems that in the last years of his life, Kings DIED various streams of thought converged as he forged his purpose into a global one. What his impact would have been on U.S. foreign policy had he lived will be a perpetual mystery of history. On April 3, 1968, Dr. King delivered a sermon in Memphis, Tennessee, in which he envisioned himself as Moseshaving seen the Promised Land, but conceding, | may not get there with you. How uncannily clairvoyant he was became clear the next eveningjust before dinneras he perambulated the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. Ashot was fired, his jaw was swollen, blood flowed profusely and he gave up the ghost. Where he resides now is unknown, but undoubtedly he was, for thirty-nine years, an incandescent trajectory. Should anyone believe in the spirit as King did, may his or her trajectory blaze a trail through their hearts and minds, uplifting the soul, even in earthly peregrinations. APRIL 4, 1968 -Footnotes- For quotes, dates, and ower information, | have ie up e bome Carsons The g ( i her King, Jr., i the 1999 A series of activities honoring the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will begin Monday, Jan. 17, 2005 and last until Saturday, Jan. 22, 2005, on Westerns campus.
