"I like the things Martin Luther King Jr. safd. He had a dream for the people ? about seeing blacks and whites getting together; about seeing how we can be combined in unity. That's the idea that I jump on. f mean, God created all of us equally. We walk by faith and not by sight. If all of us can get together and don't worry about color and don't worry about valerie jackson who the person is, but instead 21, senior worry about what the person is going through." B"I think MLJC did a lot of good for everybody ? black, white, whatever color you are. If we can celebrate anybody else, why not him? There's still a lot of ignorant people out there^ that still want to fight, fuss and holler, but I think things have changed a lot. Things aren't perfect, but I think he'd be happier if he were around today."

"I think Martin Luther King meant well but his actions weren't right for what was going on. People were getting killed and going to jail, and all he said was 'turn the other cheek.' There's still traces of racism. I would much rather celebrate IVJafcolm X's birthday or Marcus Garvey's birth day or Nat Turner's birthday ? some body who was more for revolution."
