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. This years theme of events is called Keeping the Dream Alive: Striving for Peace, Justice, and Human Rights Throughout the World. The events are sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Office of the Chancellor, the Office or Student Affairs, the Department of Service Learning, the MLK, Jr. Planning Committee, Last Minute Productions, the Nu Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and the Student Government Association. The activities last throughout the week, providing something new everyday for Westerns students to participate in or attend while honoring Dr. King and his dream of racial equality. Monday, a candlelight vigil and unity march was held on the University Center Lawn at 6 p.m. Tuesday, a town hall meeting entitled What Would Dr. King Do Now? was held in the UC Theater at 4 pm. Wednesday is a day of service where all can sign up in the Multicultural Center on the third floor of the UC to clean up Highway 107 or participate in a service project at Zion AME Zion Church. Everyone should meet on the UC Lawn at 2 p.m. On Thursday, at 7 p.m., a celebration of the life of Dr. King will be held in the UC Grand Room. The guest speaker for that evening is Tonya Williams, general counsel for the North Carolina Senate President Pro Tempore Marc Basnight. Williams was born in Greenville, N.C., and graduated : from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1995 with a bachelors degree in political science. She received her law degree from the UNC School of Law in 1999. Upon graduation, she worked as a judicial clerk for Judge Loretta C. Biggs of the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Williams will be speaking on this years theme for MLK Week. Thursday evening also includes several musical selections by the Western Carolina University Inspirational Choir, and then a reception will be held immediately following the program. Friday, Last Minute Productions hosts an Up All Night event in UC 9 p.m.-2 a.m. This night includes many activities for all students to enjoy. Then, closing the week, on Saturday there will be a trip to Atlanta, G.A., to visit the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. There is space available for 25, and the sign-up sheet is available in the Multicultural Center. For more information, please contact the Office of Multicultural Affairs at 227-2276. When asked about this years week in celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. King, and if she was looking forward to it, Junior Jesica Gaskin replied, I am definitely looking forward to the week's events. Hopefully, more people will come out to support the events this year. In addition, Gaskin, who is also the Chair of SGAs Finance Committee, added, More participation in MLK Week could equal more unity on Westerns campus, and we need some of that everywhere.
