The following photo and poem was sent to us by Rhonda Harris. The poem is an original work Rhonda presented to Coretta Scott King on April 3, 1984 at the Drum Major Awards in Atlanta, GA. By Rev. Emanuel Cleaver.
From the Beginning of His Birth
God named him Martin Luther King, Jr.
His life was to bring *Light Unto Men
The Light is Jesus
His life of many Trials and Tribulations
Bear witness of that *Light,
But man was blind and understood not
Martin Luther King, Jr. was a DRUM MAJOR for JUSTICE,
through Nonviolence
His message---PEACE and LOVE be in Every Mans Heart,
regardless of circumstances
Followed by Christian Works
His Dream---
One Day, All Men, Regardless of Race, Creed, Color, or Religion
Would Walk Together as Brothers
Hand in Hand, Singing
Free At Last
Free At Last
Thank God Almighty,
We Are Free At Last.
Amen
Thank You Jesus.
