MLKH'he Charlotte Post Thursday, January 11,1996 MLK Papers Project: Programs and resources Martin Luther King Jr.’s historical importance has been confirmed not only by the creation of a national holiday in his honor but also by the con tinued popular and scholarly interest in his life and thought. Thousands of journatistic pieces, several hundred scholarly artides, at least 70 doc toral dissertations and masters theses, and more than two dozen book-length biographies of King have been written. By publishing an authorita tive, annotated, 14-volume edition of King’s most significant unpublished manuscripts, the Martin Luther King, Jr., Papers Project will provide a uniquely important foundation for future studies of King and his times. This definitive edition of King’s papers is an unprecedented, long-term, cooperative effort, sponsored by the Martin Luther King Jr., Center for Nonviolent Social Change Inc., the official liv ing memorial dedicated to fulfilling King’s dreams. The Bang Papers Project furthers the King Center’s mission of research, education, and train ing in “Kingian” nonviolent principles. Peak Drugs PtafcetOualllvPtakofSwvIct-PMkofVaiijt 2044 N.

Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.” We Share The Dream Of DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. Eugeueljill, Don Hill & Staff In 1985, Coretta Scott King, chief executive offi cer of the King Center, chose Stanford University historian Claybome Carson as the project’s senior editor and director. As a result of Dr. Carson’s selection, the project became a cooperative ven ture with Stanford University, which has funded a major research center to support the pubhcation of King’s papers and other related activities. The King Papers Project is one of only a few large-scale documentary research ventures on an Afiican American or on a figure of such contempo rary relevance. By documenting King’s religious roots and his long-standing relationships with other national and international leaders, the pro ject will clarify the nature and sources of his dis tinctive ideas and leadership style. The project’s edition volumes of King’s papers will also docu ment his views on various issues of continuing sig nificance, including the search for solutions to the problems of poverty and international conflict. The complete 14-volume edition will, in short, become an essential reference work for the study of modern social and intellectual history. Student involvement Since the inception of the King Papers Project, student researchers have been involved in every phase of its work. Rather than simply suppl3dng labor for the project, students receive valuable experience and training while they work together with students with similar interests. Distinguished visitors to the project - including Coretta Scott King, Dexter King, Allan Boesak, Jesse Jackson, Vincent and Rosemary Harding, Dorothy Cotton, Robert Moses, Harris Wofford, James Forman, Gerhard Casper, Condoleezza Rice, Taylor Branch, Bobby Seale and many others - provide inspiration and special insights regard- See PAPERS Page 5C V* Classifieds Are Very Economical For Great Returns.
