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.

~~~~~

The Carroll County branch of the NAACP has announced that Chief Judge Bell will be the keynote speaker at the upcoming annual Freedom Fund banquet to be held April 9.

In 1996, Bell became the only active judge in the State to have served at least four years on all four levels of Maryland’s judiciary, and the first African-American to be named the state’s chief jurist.

Bell began his long career as an attorney with the law firm Piper and Marbury. He was first appointed to the bench in 1975 as a judge of the District Court of Maryland for Baltimore City, according to information from his office.

He next served as a judge for the Circuit Court for Baltimore City from 1980 until 1984. In that year, he was appointed judge to the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland and in 1991, Bell was appointed to the Court of Appeals of Maryland.

On October 23, 1996 then-Maryland Governor Parris Glendening, appointed him to the state’s highest court, Judge of the Court of Appeals.

Bell, who in his current role manages over 3,000 employees, and oversees the Maryland court system, lectures frequently at schools and community groups.

He was born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina on July 6, 1943 grew-up in Baltimore where he attended Dunbar High School.

In 1960, twelve Dunbar High School students entered a downtown Baltimore restaurant, were refused service and subsequently arrested and convicted for trespassing.

One of those students was a young Bell, who led an appeal of the verdict in a landmark civil rights case, Bell v. Maryland, which was eventually argued before the United States Supreme Court and brought an end to de facto racial segregation in Maryland.

Bell continued his education at Morgan State College, where he received his A.B. degree in 1966. He went on to Harvard University Law School where he received his J.D. in 1969.

The annual banquet will be held this year at Martin's Westminster on Friday, April 9, 2010, beginning 6:30 pm. Tickets for the banquet are $45.00. For more information contact Charlotte Brown (410) 861-7890, Jean Lewis (410) 861-6872, Bernard Jones, Sr. (410)-876-2358, or the Carroll County NAACP web site, http://ccnaacp7014.blogspot.com/
