Michigan's attorney general.
Wasko estimated that about 2,100
people took the Monday morning
walk.
"My students were very inspired by
it," said Sharon Schwartz, an eighth-
grade teacher at Hillel Day School of
Metropolitan Detroit. "They wrote
papers the next day on how they
could change the world in a positive
way."
West Bloomfield's Shelley Willner,
one of three event co-chairs, said she
was most impressed by the teen and
children's dialogues that took place
after the walk. Among the topics dis-
cussed in the teen breakout sessions
were inter-racial dating, breaking
stereotypes and the separation of eth-
nic groups in the cafeteria.
Younger children's dialogues were
held this year for the first time in the
event's seven-year history.
Willner, who was on the original
planning committee for United We
Walk, called the annual event "a
unique hands-on learning opportunity
for children, teens and adults to
address and define how our similari-
ties must outweigh our differences.
"The more we can get to the young
children, the better," she added." ❑

alone. Churches in the African American
community were not only ho-uses of
worship, but houses of action."
Introducing the event's keynote
speaker, U.S. District Judge Denise
Page Hood of the Eastern District of
Michigan, Driker said the federal judges
during the civil rights movement were
faced with the challenge of actually dis-
mantling the segregators' culture.
"No matter how splendid the orato-
ry of Dr. King, his words would have
meant little had they not been accom-
panied by the orders of federal judges
opening schools, and colleges, jobs,
housing and public accommodations,"
he said. "She follows in a long line of
distinguished federal judges whose
work — and that of Dr. King — has
so profoundly affected our nation."
Hood spoke of the ties between
African Americans and Jews over the
years.
The civil rights movement and the
marches involved people from all
walks of life, she said. "Blacks and Jews
were very close. People who had tradi-
tionally been left out of the American
dream could easily relate to Dr. King's
demand that all of the people share in
the protections of the constitution. .
The movement gave us a reason to get
together. Today, Dr. King's birthday
again brings us together."
"Our organizations are committed
to Dr. King's dream," she said. "And
tomorrow we will go out again to keep
that dream alive, not because it was
Dr. King's dream or the dream of the
Detroit Urban League or the American
Jewish Committee, but because it is a
dream for all the people."
