On the first national celebration of Dr. King’s birthday, the struggle continues--the struggle to eradicate ignorance, racism, unemployment, sexism, injustice, hunger and violence.
The struggle continues, not only in America, but also throughout the world. The struggle continues, particularly in South Africa, to extinguish the aforementioned inequities.
We give thanks to the Creator, that the commitment on the part of millions throughout America and the world continues, on the path to the realization of Dr. King’s dream.
