mrs. coretta scott king, the widow of dr. martin luther king jr.any years ago she embraced me and work i was doing in national action network because of my close working with her son martin iii. she told me, al, you cannot become what you're fighting. name-calling is not just justified because of emotion. just because you disagree with people does not mean you don't respect them and that the words that come out of your mouth or that you write have to represent the highest order. so when mr. phil griffin and others said that's how they operate around here, it only confirmed a decade of training by people liquor reta scott king. every night i take people on here, but i do not attack them personally. i learned after saying a lot of things out of emotion that you only get in the way of not only people that want to hear what is right, you get in the way of your own sole and your own belief that we really need to make people better, not bitter. we do not have to be disagreeable in order to disagree. olay presents the new regenerist luminous collection. w

mrs. coretta scott king, who kept the dream alive.versary of the war on poverty and the march on washington. the march emphasized jobs because while the civil rights movement initially focused on ending discrimination against african-americans, dr. king also understood the connection between social and economic justice and the dignity of work. he believed that a focus on eliminating poverty could actually help bridge america's racial and economic divides and unite americans of all races who share similar economic struggles. president lyndon johnson knew he couldn't wanl his war on poverty without dr. king, so just two days after being elected president in 1964, president johnson called dr. king. >> we're going to spend a lot of time with shriver on our poverty thing and i wish you'd give a little thought to it because that offers a lot of opportunity for our young people that have been denied. we got this behind us now, and we've got to move on the next four years and make some advances, and i'll be in touch with you. >> well, good, g
