MLK Unity March, January 19

Maybe I am wrong, but MLK Day is not representing one race, it is representing many races and classes of people working towards equality throughout our society.

Yes, we may have differences, but the "Unity March" is for promoting common goals amongst people of different beliefs and understanding working together.If you take a look around you (As well as at ourselves), we all have a long ways to go before equality and fair opportunities are afforded to all throughout our community.

The Unity March represents past accomplishments and recognizes work is still needed towards the future for all of us to have equal opportunity without discrimination.

Join the March and show your support for what it represents, not just one group or class, but all celebrating and working for a better community and society.

"argumentum wrote: You make a good case. One question. Will the words of Bill Cosby encouraging African-Americans to take responsibility for themselves be mentioned during the Unity March or at the event at the Adorni Center?"

I doubt it will be worded as Cosby presented it, but no matter how it is worded, we all need to take responsbility and stop blaming others for our difficulties that cause the misunderstandings.

I read Cosby's recent book "Come On People" and though he targets African-Americans for taking more responsibility, we can all take his advice.

I have the book here, if some one wants to read it.
