The center is a place where all can be both proud and inspired. The following three statements from the Rev. Martin Luher King, Jr. touched me the most:<br> There is nothing in all the world greater than freedom. It is worth paying for; it is worth losing a job for; it is worth going to jail for. I would rather be a free pauper than a rich slave. I would rather die in abject poverty with my convictions than live in inordinate riches with the lack of self respect. <br> The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. <br> Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don t have to have a college degree to serve. You don t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve . . . . You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. <br>America has come a long way in understanding that everyone is created equal in regards to race, color or creed. However, we must also recognize two things. First, we still have a long way to go and second, all people, regardless of race, color or creed must strive to do the best of their ability to live up to the freedms and understandings that have been gained. <br>Two great men that have done just tat are Anthony Lucas from Arkansas and Darwin Walker from Tennessee. Martin Luther King, Jr. should be smiling with great joy because of the spirit and accomplishments of Anthony and Darwin. This is what he fought and died for. <br>Read the Creed and then read Anthony s and Darwin s story. Come away inspired. Let us all become better. <br> - Dr. Greg Shepard<br><br><br>_______________________<br><br><br>I, the African American; man, woman, son, daughter, great-grandchild of slaves, descendant of Africa and child of God no longer have to search to find my place in this world.<br><br>I, the African American, have a rsponsibility to my forefathers whose struggle I must continue to ward off hatred and bigotry.<br><br>I, the African American, descendant of Ishmael and Abraham, have a responsibility to help my brothers and sisters if they fall by the wayside.<br><br>I, the African American, of dark complexion, have a responsibility to keeping my dark beautiful armor shined with Christ-like luster in my daily walk.<br><br>I, the African American, whose ancestors were great warriors, must become a great warrior against such things as drugs and gang violence.<br><br>I, the African American, from a race which was so powerful as to cause a nation to chF(j;2ò1tr6Apķ~n36<["B^1TMpU^3{=Ũq;:PvZ,g3J6ِg\AqȻꓦ.񩮍K)8M 8s1Ro}ȭ798۵dJ'P?~'38&Z :HиH_mAͷk%Ub`23dA6ةd:"L14C2;pɂH9gusɒ+֤3nY%$9Ubz(Km8/ MNhճcW%ȑZ`:o{1v\ *r lb22( % n qHgڭc՝#nH)!@*|<73a7[4k2}5qTo0x,@Z.
