The legislative branch of the United States of America took over 15 years to formally accept the day we observe as a tribute to Bro. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., (Omega Chapter). Steve Wonder's song, "Happy Birthday" reminds us of the termerity of an infamous representative on record for stating that we will not be "bullied" into making MLK Day into law....
His speech, We shall overcome is telling in its strength and hope for people of color to continue to act courageaously in the face of denigration. The recent release of two movies, "The Help" and "Red Tails," provide some context for the historical documentation of offenses to our heritage's and the struggle cursory to the civil rights movement.
