DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. readily acknowledged
that he wouldn’t have been able to do what he did, if God hadn’t blessed
him with a good woman like Coretta Scott King at his back. |

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MLK |

“The extent to which Government
officials outside of the FBI must bear responsibility for the FBI's

EARL B. LOGGINS, much like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whom he
greatly admired and respected, certainly wouldn’t have a problem with
being remembered as a Drum Major for Peace, unity and economic progress.
Nevertheless, he touched such a wide diversity of venues as he
faithfully served his city and community, until his long list of
accomplishments couldn’t be overlooked during the December 27, 2005
celebration of his long and productive life at Wheeler Avenue BC, 3826
Wheeler, with Rev. W. E. Lockett officiating.

I would like to believe
that African-AmericanNews &Issues’ extensive and/or consistent
search for little known facts to set Black History straight, is
slowly but surely, bearing fruit. Perish the thought that I
expect for our critics to give us credit for forcing the
mainstream media to do a better job of reporting African
American’s history.
