HIS MESSAGE.
ANGELA: THIS PARK IS ONE OF THE
LARGEST MEMORIALS COMMEMORATING
THE LIFE OF DR. MARTIN LUTHE
KING JR., AND TODAY, ON THE 50TH
ANNIVERSARY OF HIS
ASSASSINATION, THOSE RESPONSIBLE
FOR GETTING AT HERE ARE STILL
REMEMBERING.
>> WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS
BOOK IN EVERY HOME.
EVERY FAMILY’S HOME.
THERE’S MOTHER B THERE.
ANGELA: MOTHER B IS EDITH BUSH.
SHE’S A MEMBER OF THE MARTIN
LUTHER KING JR. COORDINATING
COMMITTEE.
SHE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING
TO MAKE SURE THE MEMORIAL IN
WEST PALM BEACH BECAME A
REALITY.
COMMITTEE MEMBER BARBARA HORNE
SAYS THIS BOOK WAS CREATED TO
HELP SPREAD THE WORD.
>> THIS WONDERFUL BOOK THAT I
HAVE IN MY HAND SPOTLIGHTS AND
CAPTURES MANY OF THE MOMENTS OF
THE MARTIN LUTHER KING
COORDINATING COMMITTEE.
ANGELA: LOCAL COMMUNITY
ACTIVISTS HOPE TODAY ON THE 50TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS
LEADER’S ASSASSINATION, EVERYONE
WILL TAKE THE TIME TO STOP BY TO
REMEMBER.
BUSH WAS TEACHING AT SCHOOL IN
PALM BEACH COUNTY ON THAT TRAGIC
DAY.
>> THE NEWS CAME ON AND IT WAS
JUST DEVASTATING.
>> HAVE WE GROWN?
>> WE’VE GROWN SOME.
WE’VE GROWN A LOT, BUT THEN NOW
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CLIMATE NOW
, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE STILL
THOSE DIEHARDS AND WANT TO GO
BACK AND DON’T REALIZE WHAT THE
DREAM WAS ALL ABOUT.
ANGELA: COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS SAY
THEY WILL CONTINUE THE DREAM OF
THE DREAMER AND THEY SAY
EDUCATION IS THE KEY.
>> I BELIEVE THAT EVEN THOUG
IT HAS BEEN 50 YEARS AND THIS IS
THE ANNIVERSARY OF DR. KING’S
DEATH, THAT THE DREAM STILL
LIVES IN ALL OF US.
AND THAT DREAM WAS NOT JUST A
BLACK OR WHITE DREAM, BUT AN
AMERICAN DREAM.
