DR. MYERS CARRYING ON THE NOON DAY MARCH

The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place in

Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1963. Attended by some 250,000 people, it was the largest demonstration ever seen in

the nation's capital, and one of the first to have extensive television coverage. The stated demands of the march were the passage of meaningful civil rights legislation; the elimination of

racial segregation in public schools; protection for demonstrators against police brutality; a major public-works

program to provide jobs; the passage of a law prohibiting racial discrimination in public and private hiring; a $2 an hour minimum wage; and self-government for the District of

Columbia, which had a black majority.

to keep moving forward.”

AND THE DREAM LIVES ON Barack Hussein Obama, II was born in 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii to Ann

Dunham Obama and Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. His mother was an

American citizen from Kansas and his father was a Kenyan citizen from

Africa who met in college in Hawaii and married. Barack was their only

child. He switched to Columbia College in NY where he received his

bachelors' degree. After that he entered law school at Harvard where he

graduated with honors and was elected President of the Harvard Law. With

his law degree, he worked at the same law firm in Chicago as Michelle, also

an attorney, whom he later married. They have had two daughters, Malia

and Sasha. He taught Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago until

he decided to enter politics and ran for and won a seat in the Illinois Senate.

He later was elected the US Senator for Illinois, which was his position

immediately prior to his election to the office of POTUS in 2008. He was

sworn into the office of US president in January 2009. Shortly after

becoming president, in October 2009, he received word that he had been

awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his improvement of the strained

international relationships between the US and other countries of the world

early in his presidency.

Malcolm X and Martin Luther King

were the defining figures of the

black freedom struggle. These two

towering leaders influence and

determine the scope and tone of the

civil rights struggle and black

power movement. Through their

philosophy and leadership, they set

the moral and social agenda for

much of the second half of the

twentieth century, laying the

foundation for a more democratic

society and the election of Barack

Obama as the 44th

President of the

United States. Martin achieved his

bona fides in the South and

Malcolm achieved his in the North.

Ironically, the year, 1965, which the

civil rights movement reached its

zenith with the passage of the 1965

Voting Rights Act.

“WE ARE THE CHANGE WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.”

― BARACK OBAMA

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person,

or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones

we've been waiting for. We are the change that we

seek.”

― Barack Obama

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter -Martin Luther King

Trayvon was not John Doe. He was not the photo shown to his father of his lifeless body on a table with blood dripping from his mouth. Emmett Till was not the mangled mess of flesh and destroyed bones recovered from a river that his mother received and displayed for the world to see. Today we express the same outrage and disgust as the many people who lined up to view Emmett Till’s body all those years ago. We want justice for our boys. Another innocent 17 year old black male by the name of Jordan Davis was killed in Florida this time Jacksonville, Fl. Sounds familiar? yeah it seems like the “Stand Your Ground” state of Florida has been using the law since 2005, and recently this year 3 cases of people who were killed have used the stand your ground law to justify it. No justice, No peace. We must fight to protect our youth, your families and friends because they're being targeted and murder out

here. Rest In Peace: Jordan Davis, Trayvon Martin
