BILL HISTORY
Last year UCSU sent one student representative, two student group members and
one tri-executive to the second annual Martin Luther King Conference. This year
the Martin Luther King Jr. conference will be held from Jan. 13 until Jan. 16. The
theme of the conference is Empowerment through Nonviolence. The conference
was begun in an attempt to honor the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. in an actionoriented manner vs. leaving king as a simple memory. Students from across the
U.S. will be participating in the conference. Some of the objectives include
learning how to combat institutionalized racism in a productive way, to spread
King's idea of non-violent social change, and to participate in a number of
workshops to learn about the different issues dealing with racism and its effects
around the world. Martin Luther King, Jr. set and an example for the rest of the
world to follow. Students were some principle actors who followed King's call in
the sixties and seventies. It is up to the eighties to carry out King's dream of
culturally diverse and sentitive society, a society in which all people are active and
accepted participants. King had a dream, we have a responsibility, let's work
together to keep young America aliv·e.
