MLK PARADE FALLOUT
Did Super Bowl rain on MLK’s Day Parade?

OVIDE DUNCANTELL (top) chained to door protection rods . Right: his group took to the streets-- again-- after learning that Super Bowl XXXVIII had rained on his MLK Day Parade;
Although some of the mainstream media had responded to the Society’s damning newsletter:
“26th Annual MLK Holiday Celebration Sacked by Super Bowl Host Committee,” it counted for naught. Sadly, 2004 America doesn’t hold MLK in the same esteem as they did when any hint of disrespect rallied Black America, as it did when Arizonans angered Blacks and others who admired King by refusing to grant state workers a paid holiday on the civil rights leader's birthday.”


PUBLISHER’S ANALYSIS
by Roy Douglas Malonson

Blacks cloud Mayor White’s regime
 


GREEN obviously is smart enough to understand that it’s important to stay on the good side of a newspaper that distribute over 300, 000 free newspapers, in 5, 000 plus locations throughout five major Texas cities and deliver alternating weekly copies to 100, 000 homes. Mayor White would be wise to confer with Green on matters impacting the Black community.


WHITE with unidentified supporter..
He should be forewarned that he will only divide and confuse minority communities more if he rely on his Black friends to help him implement the Covenant’s third tenant, which is to appoint department heads reflecting the city’s diversity.

REV. JAMES LAWSON  a UMC pastor and civil rights leader isn’t a name that readily jumps out at Black America’s younger generation when the life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is discussed.

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shackespeare wrote poetry. He should swept streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.
