This effective boycott was led by the young Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in response to Rosa Parks‘ arrest for refusing to go to the back of the bus. By the time desegregation of the buses was ordered in December 1956, Dr. King was regarded throughout the world as a leader for racial equality. _ . m . T L4 Mess Li_ PCCCOAI OR RICECI TE * Threatened with death daily, often jailed, his home and those of his friends bombed. King tirelessly led the movement against segregation and racism. By August 1963 when the great March on Washington took place, he was the obvious leader for the keynote address. The U.S. Civil Rights Act was finally passed in 1964. Dr. King had a place of honour at the signing ceremony. In October of that year he received the Nobel Peace Prize. As King continued his struggle for civil rights, he learned that the fight for equality was linked with the fight for peace and the workers‘ struggle for rights and a higher standard of livâ€" ing. In April 1968, Dr. King was in Memphis. Tennessee to organize support tor a strike by the sanitation workers. On April 4. he was assassinâ€" ated. Like Mohandas K. Gandhi, a forerunner of peace who had also been assassinated, King saw that nonâ€"violent forms of struggle were the most powerful weapons at his disposal.

Some 250,000 people arrived in Washington on foot, by train, bus, and airplane. Fifty Twin Cities and Guelph residents were among those who renewed their commitment to "Kingsian" goals by taking part in the peace:nl demonstraâ€" t C e n d LK OA Ore c emede e Cesna a M tion. There were members of local peace groups, the Waterioo and Guelph Public Interest Research Groups, and various individuals who are committed to sexual equality. As labor and homosexual/lesbian groups mingled with the peace marchers, the local group could hear slogans about full employâ€" ment, nuciear disarmament, freedom for nonâ€" heterosexuals, an end to racism, and an end to U.S. intervention in Central America. A variety of speakers â€" Jesse Jackson (Operation PUSH), Benjamin Hooks (NAACP Director), and enterâ€" t(ainers Harry Belafonte and Bill Cosby â€" heaped verbal abuse on U.S. President Reagan and his administration . Doubtless racism, the lack of jobs for youth and others, and so on are acute problems in Canadian society but the local group was proud to express its support of U.S. groups who struggle for similar issues in their own country. European delegates also expressed solidarity with their U.S. brothers and sisters. We can all renew our commitment to Dr. Martin Luther King‘s goals for humanity When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamiet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God‘s children ... will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, ‘Free at Last!
