CHAMPIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. (1929-1968)
Martin Luther King, Jr., was one of the twentieth century’s best-known advocates for nonviolent social change. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, King’s exceptional oratorical skills and personal courage first attracted national attention in 1955 when he and other civil rights activists were arrested after leading a boycott of a Montgomery, Alabama, transportation company for requiring nonwhites surrender their seats to whites and stand or sit at the back of the bus. Over the following decade, King wrote, spoke and organized nonviolent protests and mass demonstrations to draw attention to racial discrimination and to demand civil rights legislation to protect the rights of African-Americans. In 1963 in Birmingham, Alabama, King guided peaceful mass demonstrations that the white police force countered with police dogs and fire hoses, creating a controversy that generated newspaper headlines around the world. Subsequent mass demonstrations in many communities culminated in a march that attracted more than 250,000 protestors to Washington, DC, where King delivered his famous “I have a dream” speech in which he envisioned a world where people were no longer divided by race. So powerful was the movement King inspired, Congress enacted the Civil Rights Act in 1964, the same year he was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize. Posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, King is an icon of the civil rights movement. His life and work symbolize the quest for equality and nondiscrimination that lies at the heart of the American—and human—dream.

From the American Association of School Administrators regarding schools in need following Hurricaine Sandy
Dear Colleagues:
AASA has now broadened its relief efforts to school districts impacted by Hurricane Sandy. What we have learned in the short time since we began this project is that recovery is going to be a very long process. There is no quick fix here.
Some school buildings have been so badly damaged that whole schools have been moved to new locations. In some areas, faculty and staff members, as well as students, are without homes. Some school districts are simply overwhelmed by the logistics of reopening in communities where basic infrastructure is missing.
Thus far AASA is in contact with 21 school districts that have been able to identify specific needs. We are working to help these districts fill those needs. Our donors have already offered textbooks and supplies. Schools are holding fundraisers to raise money, and some schools have even adopted a “school-in-need.” In many schools, children are taking the lead in this effort!
But we know there are many more districts that need assistance. While we are working to contact these schools—many lack telephone and email connection—AASA has now made it possible for individuals and families to make a personal, tax-deductible contribution to the relief effort:
Checks payable to AASA, marked “Attn: Hurricane Sandy Relief” should be sent to AASA, 1615 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA 22314.
Please consider how you and your colleagues and communities can help. Thank you to all who have helped us get this far. And thanks to all of you who will join us. For additional information about the initiative, see the AASA website (http://www.aasa.org/sandyrelief.aspx).
With best wishes for the holidays ahead,
Daniel A. Domenech, executive director
American Association of School Administrators
