Live Like a King! Be a Voice of Conscience & Live The Dream! King keys, concepts, precepts for king

Jan. 19, 2009 - PRLog -- As a white man and worldwide speaker who has traveled extensively throughout Africa, I am particularly respectful of African-American history and the barriers that our black forefathers have broken to achieve freedom for all.

I had the privilege of meeting Dr. King's daughter Bernice in Southern California, when she spoke on great expectations for the future. The King family's forward struggle and refusal to yield our universal human rights brought reformation to America and was the catalyst that launched other liberation movements throughout the world.

Even when faced with personal danger, threats, violence, and death - Dr. King boldly carried on lifting up his voice to liberate a nation and provide humanity with the hope of emancipation.

We must not allow Dr. King's dream to die, but instead make it our dream and live it daily. There cannot be peace without justice. Neither can we peaceably sit by and watch such atrocities with a troubled conscience. No longer can we in this country tolerate racial injustice and violence. What we tolerate has proven to continually reoccur and dominate.

Therefore we must unite, arise, and strive to achieve civil, social, and economic justice for all. African Americans represent every aspect of this country's heritage and hope. Let us wholeheartedly learn from Dr. King who pioneered and championed civil rights for all human beings.

Don't just remember our black forefathers struggle. Let us like them fully embrace the dream for equality and brotherhood.

Be a voice of conscience and live like a King!

The movie The Great Debaters discusses universal topics and themes, which all human beings can relate to and understand. In regard to what is morally right or wrong, which is to be preeminent? The law or one's own conscience? Such were powerful questions asked in the film.

The Great Debaters strongly addresses racial inequality, injustice, and human rights abuses. Historically it is well documented that for centuries white supremacists with the help of their "bodies of law" duped their fellow citizens to passively tolerate human rights violations and the oppression of people of color from other ethnic groups across the globe.

Peaceful protestation by human rights advocates and civil rights leaders such as Ghandi and Dr. Martin Luther King confronted societal injustice, while illuminating the hearts of mankind to lead them out of bondage. African Americans have been among the most successful at confronting injustice and inequality, while inspiring democracy and the liberation of people throughout the world. Dr. King, a great debater and orator, strengthened the hearts of the oppressed, while exposing the lies and hypocrisy of government.

Though the Bill of Rights amended the United States Constitution by adding the ten amendments ratified in 1791, these amendments that limited the powers of the federal government and protected the rights of all citizens were not always in practice upheld across the states.

The Bill of Rights promises due process of law and civil trial by jury, but many states were heartless and happy to enslave and imprison African Americans without such. Severe forms of oppression included enforced racial segregation, which treated blacks as second-class citizens.

Such forms of oppression "legally sanctioned" by Jim Crow laws achieved institutional manipulation and enabled white supremacists to contain dissenting citizens. That was until prophetic voices like Dr. Martin Luther King arose during the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s to speak to the conscience of America.

What can we learn from American history and the civil rights movement? Human rights may be written into law, but the enforcement of such rights should not be blindly expected. We the people must stand up for ourselves and one another.

For us to preserve the great freedoms purchased for us by great leaders like Dr. King, we must embrace his dream of equality and continue marching for freedom wherever injustice is found.

Let us not be ignorant or unwilling to admit that racial prejudice and injustice is still alive today in America. Undercover NYPD in Queens shot over 50 times and killed an unarmed 23-year-old innocent groom by the name of Sean Bell at his bachelor's party.

Seven guards and a nurse at a juvenile facility in Panama City, FL beat 14-year-old Martin Lee Anderson to death and were acquitted of murder.

Is this the kind of freedom, democracy, and equality that Dr. King gave his life for? I think not. We the people therefore must arise and live like a King to again uphold our human rights and secure our personal freedom.
