on Dr. King's ideas, which appear
prominently in Israel's Declaration of
Independence.
"As we commemorate Israel this
year, we rededicate ourselves to Dr.
King's principles of upholding peace
and nonviolence in the face of ter-
ror and incitement against us:' said
Neistein.

Dr. King honed his Aug. 28,
1963, "I Have A Dream"

speech in June in Detroit.

Atlanta native Martin Luther King Jr.
– the son of a southern Baptist minister,
a descendant of slaves, a role model for
nonviolent dissent against bigotry – was
gunned down in Memphis, where he had
come to support striking sanitation work-
ers. His 1968 murder came 13 years after
he rose to prominence in the Montgomery,
Ala., bus boycott, a seminal event in civil
rights history. He wrote his historic let-
ter from jail as he sought to desegregate
Birmingham, Ala., in April 1963.
The 79th anniversary of Dr. King's birth
was Jan. 15. Martin Luther King Jr. Day,
held this year on Monday, Jan. 21, is a fed-
eral holiday.
