A tribute to Hon. Martin Luther King

& Rosa Parks


Hon. Mayor, Becky Miller, City of Carrollton	Speaker Ester Davis of Ester Davis Show	Rev. Perry Crenshaw, Pastor of Warren United Methodist Church, Dallas.	Cheryl Smith, Editor, Dallas Weekly Newspaper

First and foremost, we would like to honor two guiding lights of the Civil Rights movement in America, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ms. Rosa Parks - who taught us to view one another, not through a lens of color, but of character … and most of all, through a lens of Love.

Mike, "if it was not for Rosa Parks, and if it were not for Martin Luther King Jr. none of the immigrants would have made it to America, I am here today because of them and I owe my gratitude to them".

It was their effort that lifted a huge burden from American psyche and freed every one's conscience in America. Our open minds and open heart are the reason for our relative joy and peace. We need to do more and welcome and encourage individuals regardless of their affiliation. It is because of that attitude America is where it is today.
