Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
"Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve....You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
This is an exciting time in our history! King’s legacy culminates tomorrow with the swearing in of the country’s first black president. Barack Obama has brought the country together just like Dr. King based on a message of equality for everyone.
The kids had a nice program at their school. They played Dr. King’s speech, sung “Lift Every Voice & Sing”, recited some poems, and spoke to everyone about spending the holiday in service for the community.
There will be two parades in Houston today because of a long-standing fued between The MLK Parade Foundation and the Black Heritage Society. I guess it will work out great because everyone will be out celebrating Dr. King and Barack Obama.
How are you celebrating this wonderful holiday?
Get Permission When Using Martin Luther King Jr’s Likeness
- Image via Wikipedia
The family of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. don’t take too kindly to folks using MLK’s likeness for their own gain. If you printed t-shirts, posters, or other merchandise of the civil rights leader along with PE Barack Obama you need to cease-and-desist and get permission. If not, they will come looking for you.
But while Obama’s election as the first black president may be the fulfillment of King’s dream and could yield a big windfall for his estate, policing his image and actually collecting any fees could prove to be a legal nightmare because of the great proliferation of unauthorized King-Obama paraphernalia, much of it sold by street vendors.
King’s writings, likeness and voice are considered intellectual property, and almost any use — from graduate thesis papers to TV documentaries — are subject to approval by his estate, now administered by his surviving children, Martin Luther King III , Dexter King and the Rev. Bernice King . (Because Obama is an elected official , his words and image are in the public domain and can be used without permission.) Source
