A
B
You
all
so
very
much
for
coming
here
today.
The
reason
that
we
have
this
annual
Martin
Luther
King
birthday
celebration
not
well
marked
as
the
King
day
is
because
then
so
many
communities
do
have
Martin
Luther
King,
Day
celebrations
start
out
a
lot
stronger.
Now
it
says
it's
another
shopping
day
like
Columbus,
Day
and
Washington's
birthday
and
the
rest.
Oh,
no.
We
have
a
tendency
sometimes
to
forget
just
why
we
commemorate
certain
individuals
in
our
history.
There
are
only
two
holidays
that
celebrate
the
lives
of
America.
B
B
When
I
was
a
little
boy,
we
had
both
of
those
days
off
and
we
would
make
little
snowflake
taps
out
of
crates
a
burden
and
then
the
real
hatchets
on
the
Washington's
birthday
and
the
reason
that
Lincoln's
was
never
a
national
holiday
was
because
of
the
Confederate
States
that
did
not
recognize
Lincoln
and
that
they
were
celebrating
Jefferson
Davis's
birthday
instead,
which
didn't
catch
on
either.
So,
consequently,
to
put
the
two
together,
we
celebrate
Presidents
Day,
you
know
as
the
leader
of
the
county.
B
It
saddens
me
that
the
country
is
so
divided
and
the
interesting
thing
about
the
division.
It
is
not
necessarily
along
racial
grounds.
You
know
you
blacks
and
whites
together
on
one
side
arguing
with
blacks
and
whites
together
on
the
other
side,
which
I
guess
is
a
step
forward.
I
don't
know,
but
I
I
do
know
that
when
the
black
lives
matter
was
started,
just
in
attention
see,
I
was
on
talk,
radio
of
someone
caught
up
and
asked
me
what
I
thought
about
this
black
lives
matter
and
I.
B
B
You
have
proud
lives
matter
which
goes
on
and
on,
but
the
reason
for
it
is
because
for
so
long
in
our
history,
the
embarrassment
that
this
country
allowed
for
Jim
Crow
allowed
for
slavery,
even
though
it's
not
mentioned
in
the
Constitution
itself
was
allowed
and
have
to
fight
a
civil
war
600,000
deaths
to
stop
slavery,
which,
by
the
way,
was
a
reason
for
the
Civil
War
and
have
your
teachers
tell
you
it's
any
different.
There
would
not
have
been
a
civil
war
was
not
over
states.
Rights
states
rights
to
do
what
own
people.
B
B
She
was
one
of
the
twenty
and
she
wanted
to
register
to
vote
and
she
couldn't
and
she
was
beaten
almost
to
death
and
a
part
of
her
history,
which
is
very
little
well
known.
She
went
into
a
operation,
a
small
tumor
removed,
and
while
she
was
on
the
operating
table
under
anaesthetic,
they
gave
her
a
hysterectomy
without,
of
course,
her
knowledge.
C
B
Were
called
in
those
days
of
southern
appendectomy
and
that's
the
way
it
was
by
law,
nobody
had
to
answer
for
it.
So
when
we
talk
about
lies
mattering
there
was
a
very
long
period
of
time
for
saving
people's
lives,
madam
less
than
others-
and
we
want
to
be
by
that
by
now,
regardless
of
what
your
political
affiliation
is.
B
With
that
said,
I
appreciate
you
all
being
here.
I
want
to
make
mention
that
we
do
have
some
elected
officials
Maureen
current
vice
chairman,
the
free
overboard
Frank
bhoomika
former
chairman
and
just
a
bread
baker
is
here,
John,
Risley,
ami
Gatto.
Our
chairwoman
is
also
here,
and
we've
also
come
a
long
way
here
in
Tulare
County
we
have
our
first
woman
female
chairperson
of
the
Atlantic
County
Board
of
three
overs.
B
Remember
when
there
was
just
one
female
on
the
board
and
just
also
by
coincidence,
what
some
african-american
that
was
like
no
a.m.
right,
absolutely
correct.
So
with
that
said,
as
always,
God
before
country
Reverend,
doctor
Odinga
health,
medics
from
youth
manager,
lana
county
office
of
workforce
development
well
give
the
location.
D
B
We
were
very,
very
pleased
and
honored
to
have
our
keynote
speaker:
Reverend
Latasha
D
Melton,
the
senior
pastor
at
Asbury
United,
Methodist
Church.
She
called
a
Masters
of
Divinity
degree
from
Princeton
Theological
Seminary
with
the
certificate
black
church
studies
on
graduation.
She
was
recipient
of
Warner,
molar,
Leadership
Award
and
the
urban
ministry
award.
She
also
earned
a
BS
degree
in
pre-med
biology
and
graduated
with
honors
from
the
University
of
Southern
Mississippi
Wow.
B
E
Ever
you
greetings
from
Asbury
United
Methodist
Church,
where
they
allow
me
to
serve
as
their
senior
pastor
I
think
some
of
them
may
be
there
this
morning,
I
hear
from
ask
for
a
raise
your
hand
and
thank
you
for
following
me.
Around
I'm
humble
devoted
this
one
honor
this
morning
to
stand
before
you.
I
would
like
to
thank
councilman
Shabazz
and
the
Atlantic
County
Executive
Board,
for
this
opportunity.
E
Congratulations
to
our
honoree
for
your
service
and
for
all
the
cheering
for
the
young
people
in
this
community.
I
pray
that
God
will
continue
to
empower
you
and
to
speak
life
into
the
future.
Leaders
of
this
community
and
the
world
I
pray
that
as
seeds
are
nourished
and
it's
becoming
a
spring
forth,
newness
that
seeds
of
hope
will
be
planted
within
their
spirits
that
were
manifest
a
harvest.
A
new
season
today,
as
we
gather
here,
to
celebrate
the
life
and
legacy
of
Reverend,
dr.
E
Martin,
Luther
King,
who
was
a
prophet
and
a
drum
major
for
justice
like
Moses.
He
spoke
for
those
who
were
disenfranchised
and
oppressed
like
Moses.
He
walked
through
the
wilderness
of
Jim
Crow
and
Jane
Crow,
and
call
for
peace
and
justice
Blackmun's
as
he
stood
against
the
divide
and
he
called
peace
for
those
who
were
seeking
they're.
So
smart
brief
moment,
this
woman
and
I
would
like
just
to
talk
about.
E
We
still
have
work
to
do:
listen,
Harding
in
his
book,
titled
the
hero
penned,
these
words
of
a
poem
by
Carl
little
Hans,
and
they
read
now
that
he
is
saintly
dead.
Let
us
praise
Him,
build
monuments
to
his
glory
sing
Hosanna
to
his
name.
Dead.
Men
make
such
convenient
heroes,
but
they
cannot
rise
to
challenge
the
images
that
might
fashion
their
from
their
lives
is
easier
to
build
monuments
than
to
build
a
better
world.
E
So
now
that
he
is
safely
dead,
we
would
ease
conscience
will
teach
our
children
that
he
was
a
great
man
knowing
that
the
cost
for
which
he
lived
is
still
a
cause
and
the
dream
for
which
he
died
is
still
a
dream:
a
dead
man's
dream,
in
quote
in
1963,
dr.
King,
stood
at
the
march
on
Washington
and
delivered
what
has
now
become
his
famous
I
have
a
dream
speech.
If
we
came
here
today
to
be
an
agent
of
change,
we
would
admit
that
dr.
E
King's
prophetic
speech
from
the
mountaintop
has
been
watered
down
by
sound
bites
from
the
depths
of
his
soul.
He
spoke
truth
to
power,
as
he
challenged
the
systemic
issues
of
inequality
and
the
lack
of
justice
for
African,
Americans
and
all
humanity.
Dr.
King
sounded
the
clarion
trumpet
Emiel
trumpets
eliminated,
emulating
the
hollow
pins
of
the
powers
to
be
the
remind
them
that,
in
spite
of
it,
all
black
and
brown
bodies
still
were
not
free,
even
as
we
assemble
here
this
morning,
the
docket
that
dr.
King's
dream
still
has
not
been
actualized.
E
The
essence
of
freedom
is
still
a
mythical
illusion
for
black
and
brown
bodies.
I
can
hear
a
dr.
King
speaking
from
the
grave.
There
is
no
rest
until
the
shovels
of
injustice
are
broken.
I
can
hear
them
say
that
it
is
time
to
loose
the
chains
of
inequality
that
whole
black
and
brown
bodies
captive
and
places
of
suffering
from
destruction
caused
by
redlining.
E
As
long
as
the
pulse
of
America's
original
sin
is
massaged
by
divisive
rhetoric,
people
there's
still
work
to
do
as
long
as
standardized
test
scores
of
third
graders
determine
the
number
of
prisons
to
be
built
in
this
country.
We
still
have
work
to
do
as
long
as
standardized
test
scores
determine
if
a
student
will
receive
a
high
school
diploma,
regardless
of
their
GPA.
Dr.
Krick
Kings
are
still
cries
from
the
grave.
We
cannot
become
complacent
in
our
fight
for
our
children.
They
are
dependent
on
us.
We
are
their
voice.
E
We
cannot
settle
nor
become
comfortable
with
the
pedagogy.
It's
always
going
to
be
this
way.
As
long
as
cages
are
erected
to
house
children
with
black
and
brown
bodies,
we
must
channel
about
interfaith
penny,
Lou
Hamer
spirit
and
declare
like
she
did.
I
am
sick
and
tired
of
being
sick
and
tired
people
that
still
work
to
be
done.
We
must
let
our
voices
rise
above
the
muscle
muffled
sounds
of
our
apprehensive
colleagues
and
sound
the
trumpet
for
equality
and
justice
for
all.
E
We
cannot
settle
for
the
crumbs
from
the
table
when
the
legacy
of
our
children
is
on
the
line.
Dr.
King
said
in
a
real
sense,
all
life
is
interrelated.
All
men
and
women
are
caught
in
this
inescapable
network
of
mutuality,
tied
in
a
single
garment
of
destiny,
whatever
affects
one
directly
affects
all
indirectly.
E
He
said
I
can
never
be
what
I
ought
to
be
until
you
are
what
you
ought
to
be,
and
you
can
never
be
what
you
ought
to
be
until
I
am
what
I
ought
to
be.
This
is
the
interrelated
structure
of
reality.
His
voice
still
cries
out
from
the
grain
there's
work
to
do
until
we
are
able
to
join,
to
see
the
true
essence
of
the
perk
person,
hand
we
hold
not
as
three-fifths
of
human,
but
see
them
in
the
full
essence
of
which
God
created
them
to
be.
E
C
E
Have
work
to
do
I,
hear
doctor
Creek
Keane,
crying
out
from
the
grave
sand,
keep
the
fight
and
fight
on
I,
hear
dr.
King
crying
out
saying
our
lives
begin
to
end
the
day
we
become
silent
about
those
things
that
matter
I
hear
dr.
King
crying
out
saying
now
is
not
the
time
to
get
comfortable
and
become
complacent.
I
hear
dr.
E
King
crying
out
saying
the
ultimate
measure
of
a
man
or
a
woman
is
not
where
you
stand
at
moments
of
comfort
and
convenience,
but
where
you
stand
at
times
of
challenge
and
controversy,
I
hear
dr.
King
crying
out
saying:
I
still
have
a
dream
that
one
day
we
will
be
judged
by
the
content
of
our
character
and
not
the
fewer
of
us
kin.
I
hear
dr.
King
crying
out
saying
that
the
same
spirit
that
spoke
to
me
at
that
kitchen
table
in
Montgomery.
It's
still
alive
and
lives
in
each
of
you,
I
hear
dr.
E
B
That
was
very
inspiring
to
him.
No
injustice
has
been
everywhere
when
we
try
to
improve
to
share
our
personal
story
with
you,
when
I
was
a
little
boy.
My
mother
was
in
a
horrendous
car
accident,
not
her
fault.
A
cement
truck
went
through
a
stop
sign
and
hit
her.
She
was
in
the
hospital
for
two
weeks,
severely
severely
hurt
and
her
face
was
disfigured.
B
You
know
the
fact
that
that
divorce
may
come
or
father
may
have
died
or
whatever
it
may
have
been
meant
nothing
to
the
courts
at
the
time
that
was
the
that
was
decision.
That
always
stuck
in
my
mind
and
it
made
my
mother
be
strong.
I
reacted
as
far
as
equality
for
for
rights
of
every
and
she
would
repeat
that
story
continuing
and
then
she
would
show
this
Frankenstein
cash
he
had
on
her
head,
but
she
would.
It
would
frighten
me
as
a
kid,
so
she
told
me
to
do
something.
She
better
hurry
up.
C
B
Called
Philippe,
shahboz,
aloof
and
friendly
with
now
for
I,
can't
remember
how
long
and
I
said
look
I
want
honor
someone
this
year
and
I'm
kind
of
out
of
ideas.
Do
you
know
anybody?
He
meant
that
is
deserving
and
he
said
well,
I'll
have
to
think
about
it.
He
came
back
to
me
a
couple
of
days
later
and
gave
me
the
name
of
Shalonda.
B
C
C
F
F
A
County
Tech,
thank
you
so
much
for
continuing
this
program.
This,
in
my
mind,
is
a
needed
activity
together
to
focus
on
the
life
and
works
of
dr.
King,
and
we've
had
an
outstanding
speaker
and
I
would
suggest
to
those
of
you
who
don't
know
Siobhan
to
Austin,
and
she
is
a
outstanding
honoree
for
someone
who
is
elected
official.
Has
the
county
executive
said
when
we
see
a
crowd
of
people
like
this.
Our
first
temptation
is
to
make
a
long
speech
I'm
going
to
fight
that
temptation
very
hard
and
not
make
a
long
speech.
F
I
could
just
get
up
and
say
that
this
is
Shalonda
Austin.
She
is
our
honoree
and
that
would
be
sufficient
for
Congress.
Indeed,
I
could
read
her
biography,
that's
abbreviated
in
the
program,
but
that
would
be
an
insult
to
you
because
you
can
be
dead
for
yourself.
Let
me
say
three
things
about
Shalonda
Austin
before
I
presented
in
two
years.
For
those
of
you
who
don't
know
her.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who
have
good
thoughts
and
good
intentions,
but
sometimes
they
don't
put
them
into
action.
F
Shalonda
Austin
has
good
thoughts
and
good
intentions,
but
she
puts
them
into
actions.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who,
if
they
can
work
by
themselves,
mr.
exec,
they
do
good
work,
but
they
can't
work
with
other
people
because
they
had
issues
and
personality
problems
and
concerns.
Jolanda
Austin
can't
work
by
herself,
but
she
can
also
work
with
other
people
because
she
has
the
kind
of
personality,
the
kind
of
spirit.
C
F
Enables
her
to
work
with
anybody
and
to
reach
out
and
accept
the
work
and
contributions
of
other
people,
then.
Finally,
there
are
people
who
do
things
for
various
means.
There
are
many
of
us
who
elected
up
here.
We
know
people
who
do
things
to
policing
or
to
get
elected.
What
do
you
pray
that
there
are
other
people
who
do
things
because
they
have
experienced
evil
and
they
have
a
desire
to
make
things
better
and
Shalonda.
Austin
is
such
a
person.
F
She
does
what
she
does
with
young
people
with
young
women
and
young
men,
but
she
has
a
sincere
deep-seated
desire
and
zeal
to
make
things
better,
and
she
has
the
personality
to
work
with
people
to
help
make
things
better,
and
she
has
ideas
that
are
intelligent
and
responsible
that
she
puts
into
action.
So
without
further
ado
was
my
distinct
pleasure
by
a
high
honor
to
present
to
you,
those
of
you
who
have
never
heard
of
her
and
to
introduce
to
those
of
you
who
are
going
to
hear
more
about
her
Shalonda
Austin,
the
2019.
G
When
that
was
a
young
girl,
I
really
big
boy,
dr.
mother
became
Jillian
and
I
received
the
see
on
my
paper
and
I
went
back
to
the
teacher
and
I
said
I
can't
you
know
see
on
his
paper
and
she
said
why
not
I
said
because
it's
about
that
front
of
the
King,
and
she
said
yes,
it
is
about
that
heart
of
the
king,
but
you
didn't
follow
my
instructions.
G
C
G
Received
an
A
and
I
wasn't
upset
because
I
received
a
see.
I
was
upset
because
at
that
time
I
felt
like
that.
C
was
a
disgrace
to
the
legacy
of
the
length
of
dr.
Martin
Luther
King
I
realized
that
when
I
was
a
young
girl,
I
thought
that
dr.
Martin
became
jr.
was
the
only
person
to
write
I.
Was
that
person
that
people
would
say
you
know
there
are
other
people
to
write
about
besides
dr.
Murray
and
I
did
but
dr.
Martin
Luther
King
was
my
hero
and.
C
G
We
are
in
a
community
where
unity
matter,
and
so,
when
I
think
about
the
people
that
went
on
before
me,
he
gave
me
the
not
only
position
but
enthusiasm
to
continue
the
spirit
of
dr.
Martin
Luther
King,
by
laying
the
foundation
to
those
who
will
come
after
me,
those
who
will
be
able
to
stand
on
my
shoulders
and
our
shoulders
and
not
waver
I
am
so
thankful
and
I
am
so
grateful
to
be
here
today,
not
because
of
the
work
that
I
do,
but
because
of
the
community
that
stands
behind
me.
G
Anything
that
you
do
would
mean
nothing.
If
you
don't
have
people
standing
behind
you
pushing
you
forward,
encouraging
you
telling
you
go
on
even
when
it
doesn't
look
like
what
you
wanted
to
look
like.
Tell
you
that
there's
another
shot,
you
have
another
shot
to
make
a
difference.
I
love
my
community.

Mother,
god
rest
her
soul
would
be
godlie
proud,
because
that
was
her
era.
I
would
just
like
to
say
to
everyone
in
this
room.
First
of
all,
what
we
do
for
Christ
show
legs,
that's
first,
but
when
you
do
something
you're
not
only
doing
it
for
yourself
you're
doing
it
for
those
that
are
going
to
follow
behind
you.
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
God,
who
is
the
head
of
my
life,
but.
C
G
Would
like
to
thank
God
because
he
has
blessed
me
to
be
on
his
journey.
I
would
like
to
thank

husband
Perry
for
always
in
urging
me

team
