Men are judged on the impact they have on the lives of others. What was so different about this man, Martin Luther King Jr.? Why do thousands of people from all parts of the United States and all parts of the world flock to Atlanta constantly to see the Martin Luther King Center and gain new strength from this slain preacher? They go because of his contributions to society. o He gave people hope. He gave Americans courage to C 1 - - n gu lurwaru in spue OT roadblocks, hardships, fear and eveivdeath.

He knew how to take advice, and therefore he was qualified to give advice. While addressing a Miami gathering of the National Baptist Convention Inc., Coretta Scott King, his widow, said thai Before the Montgomery boycott, King went to Baton Rouge, La., to seek the advice of Dr.' T.J. Jemison, who had already conducted a movement to desegregate the buses in Baton Rouge. He alvyays valued the ad?vice he received from Jemison, who is now president of the National Baptist Convention. King listened to people who were qualified to give advice. He listened to people he trusted. He did not agree with or clasp to his bosom every piece of ad vice given-, but he picked out what was worthy of consideration and used it. He was at home with people of all races and all economic backgrounds. He left us some lessons in human development, because he taught self-improvement.

He taught youth not to waste their time in foolishness. He taught them the seriousness of life. He taught youth the value of education and the folly of violence. He enjoyed recreation, but he himself had very little time for recreation. When he was at home, the telephone rang constantly. When he was on the streets of any city, people would quickly spread the word that he was there; crowds ?followed?him -?seeking hfs? autograph, trying to shake his hands, trying to talk with him, trying to question him about different issues. King taught us to live so that it will matter after we are gone. Friends who have visited the Martin Luther King Center in Atlanta say that it is on record as being one of the finest centers in America. They say it represents planning and years of hard work. The eternal flame burns at that center, and it will always burn in the hearts of men and women all over the world.
