Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Carroll County NAACP Breakfast by Joe Getty

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

by Getty for Senate on Monday, January 17, 2011 at 2:35pm

Congratulations to the Carroll County Chapter of the NAACP for their excellent tribute to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., this past Saturday morning. I attended the eighth annual breakfast organized by Jean Lewis, President of Branch No. 7014, and other members of the local chapter.

An uplifting message was delivered by Ambassador Blango Ross, pastor of the Strawbridge United Methodist Church, New Windsor. While quoting scripture, Dr. King and text messages from his children, Pastor Ross offered an extraordinary commentary about the relevance of Dr. King's teachings in our modern world of technology.

As he referred to quotations from Dr. King's early speeches ("Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction"), Pastor Ross repeatedly returned to the role of love, family and a Christian lifestyle to counter the corrupting forces in modern society.

Another highlight of the morning was a presentation by Carroll County students Jordan Costley, Janae Henson, Troy Henson, Jasmine Rock and Tyrice Rock who read "Letters to Dr. King" from a book published to show how today's students feel about the legacy of Dr. King.

The entire program was admirably coordinated by master of ceremonies Doug Metz. A presentation of artwork for the NAACP headquarters was made by former Westminster Mayor Kevin Dayhoff and Caroline Babylon.

I encourage you to view the video of this event when it becomes available from the Carroll County Community Media Center (http://www.carrollmediacenter.org/)

While much of state government is closed today in honor of Dr. King, the Maryland General Assembly will convene at 8:00 p.m. this evening. I plan to attend the annual wreath-laying ceremony in front of the State House and then attend the traditional MLK speech in the Senate Chamber which this year will be given by my Baltimore County colleague, Senator Delores G. Kelley.

Additional information about the Carroll County Chapter of the NAACP is available on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Carroll-County-NAACP/108954305789921).

A presentation of a print of Dr. Martin Luther King was made by Kevin Dayhoff and Caroline Babylon for the offices of the Carroll County NAACP.

Ambassador Blango Ross, pastor of Strawbridge United Methodist Church, gave the keynote address at the breakfast.

Civil Rights movement comes alive through art

Civil Rights movement comes alive through art

By Pam Zappardino, In the Arts Monday, January 19, 2009

Art and history are seldom in the same thought, except in nightmarish memories of darkened rooms and numbing arrays of slides. Art relates to history in a broader sense, though, interpreting, as Webster says, the “record of significant events (as affecting a nation or institution) often including an explanation of their causes.” Some view history as, well, “dead,” not relevant to their lives. Art can help change their minds.

I’ve just spent four days on the road down South visiting sites of major campaigns in the civil rights movement. History is alive there and art is its constant companion.

Walking through King International Chapel at Atlanta’s Morehouse College, I saw the gallery of portraits, folks from everywhere who have worked for peace. They came alive through their faces and through the symbols and objects with them in those paintings, explanatory panels filling in the facts.

Martin Luther King Legacy Day

“Ruby Bridges”

Monday, January 15 10:30 am

Free

The true story of Bridges, an African-American girl who, in 1960 at age 6, helped to integrate the all-white school of New Orleans. She was the only black girl to come to the school she was sent to, and since all the white mothers pulled their children out of class, she was the only one there at all. She faced a crowd of angry white citizens every day, yet she emerged strong thanks to encouragement by her teacher, a white woman from the North named Barbara Henry. With the help of her teacher and her mother, she eventually broke down a century-old barrier and played a significant role in the civil-rights movement.
