MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. Martin Luther King, Jr., an American clergyman and Nobel Prize winner was one of the principal leaders of the American civil rights movement and a prominent advocate of nonviolent protest. King’s challenges to segregation and racial discrimination in the 1950s and 1960s helped convince many white Americans to support the cause of civil rights in the United States. After his assassination in 1968, King became a symbol of protest in the struggle for racial justice. In 1957, King helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), an organization of black churches and ministers that aimed to challenge racial segregation. As SCLC’s president, King became the organization’s dominate personality and its primary intellectual influence. He was responsible for much of the organization’s fundraising, which he frequently conducted in conjunction with preaching engagements in Northern churches. SCLC sought to complement the NAACP’s legal efforts to dismantle segregation through the courts, with King and other SCLC leaders encouraging the use of nonviolent direct action to protest discrimination. These activities included marches, demonstrations and boycotts. “I Have a Dream” - King and other black leaders organized the 1963 March on Washington, a massive protest in Washington, D.C. for jobs and civil rights. On August 28, 1963, King delivered the keynote address to an audience of more than 200,000 civil rights supporters. His “I Have a Dream” speech expressed the hopes of the civil rights movement in oratory as moving as any in American history. After his death, King came to represent black courage and achievement, high moral leadership and the ability of Americans to address and overcome racial divisions. Perhaps the most important memorial is the national holiday in King’s honor, designated by the Congress of the United States in 1983 and observed on the third Monday in January, a day that falls on or near King’s birthday of January 15th.

A HEALTHY, HAPPY NEW YEAR: 11 SMART TIPS 1. Read to your children every day. Start by the age of six months. Reading to children shows them the importance of communication and motivates them to become readers. It also provides a context to discuss issues and learn what is on your child’s mind. 2. Make your children feel loved and important. Kids develop a sense of self-worth early in life. They get it from their parents. Listen to what your children have to say. Assure them that they are loved and safe. Celebrate their individuality and tell them what makes them special and what you admire about them. 3. Provide your child with a tobacco-free environment. Indoor air pollution from tobacco increases ear infections, chest infections and even Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. If you smoke, consider quitting. Remember, the most important predictor of whether your children will grow up to be smokers is whether you smoke. Make your home a smoke- free zone. 4. Pay attention to nutrition. Nutrition makes a big difference in how kids grow, develop and learn. Good nutrition is a matter of balance. Provide foods from several food groups at each meal. Emphasize foods that are less processed, such as whole grain breads and cereals and fresh fruits and vegetables. Review your child’s diet with your pediatrician for suggestions. YOU R AD CO ULD 5.

Make sure your child is current on recommended immunizations. Local Subdivision Newsletters 7. Practice “safety on wheels.” Make sure everyone in the car is buckled reaching over 100,000 homes up for every ride, with children in the back seat in age-appropriate child safety seats. All bikers, skaters and skateboarders should wear helmets. Helping Build Businesses & Bring 8. Prevent violence by setting good examples. Hitting, slapping and Communities Together since 1979 spanking teaches children that it is acceptable to hit other people to solve problems. Non-physical forms of discipline work better in the long run. Remember that words can hurt too. 9. Monitor your children’s “media.” Monitor what your children see and hear on television, in movies and in music. Children are affected by what they see and hear, particularly in these times of violent images. Talk to your children about “content.” If you feel that a movie or TV program is Krenek Printing inappropriate, redirect your child to more suitable programming. 10. Become more involved in your child’s school and your child’s education. Visit your child’s school. Become active in the parent-teacher NEIGHBORHOOD NEWSLETTERS LLC organization.
