ENMU-R observes MLK Day with virtual celebration - Roswell Daily Record

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record With public gatherings restricted under the state’s public health order, Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell commemorated Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday in a virtual setting. In a nearly hour-long video posted to its YouTube channel, the college presented local residents speaking on the legacy of the Civil Rights leader. Known for organizing marches from Selma, Alabama, to the state capital in Montgomery and his 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington, King was assassinated on April 4, 1968. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed the bill creating the federal holiday to honor King, which is observed on the third Monday each year, near his Jan. 15 birthday.

Reflections on MLK s life and legacy - Roswell Daily Record

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record Martin Luther King Jr. was kicked, beaten and jailed for the color of his skin. His response to the horrors happening to him was to answer his critics with love, not hate. King refused to give into hatred, or think of himself as inferior because of the color of his skin. King’s response was to lift the lives of Americans and African Americans to a higher level to receive their civil rights. For every mountaintop moment lived out, such as the March on Washington, Aug. 28, 1963, King’s iconic “I Have a Dream,” there were moments lived in the valleys. For many minorities, the scars of discrimination are long-lasting and deep. They know what it is like to have been shunned for opportunities and to have doors closed that affected their growth and lifestyle. They know there is a debt to be paid for the ancestors that have walked before African Americans today.
