Americans are denied their
right to vote. “It is time to give
the people of the District of
Columbia their full voting
rights,” he declared.
The President had high
praise for U.N. Ambassador
Andrew Young, whom he
called “a man as good as any
who has ever represented any
nation in any government.”
For many people around the
world -- those who are poor,
hungry, black, brown, and
yellow - the United States
government is Andy Young,
Carter said. “They trust him.
And in their trust of him, 1
gain their trust.”
“Now in the U.N. General
Assembly we are no longer the
target of every attack and the
butt of every joke. We are a
people now who reach out a
hand of equality, friendship,
and mutual respect where
formerly there was antagonism
and a chasm that could not be
crossed and 1 thank Andy
Young for it. And 1 thank
those of you on the stage with
me for having trained Andy so
well.”

popularity. “And it might have
been after his death so many
years later that people would
have appreciated his
importance.
“So we can say that the
sharp sound of the fatal bullet
that killed Dr. King awakened
an indifferent world to the
treatness of this man and to
the validity of his teachings.”
Dr. Gloster said King was
the “greatest living Christian
and presented an all-loving
nonviolent personality to the
white world as he strove to
improve the condition of there
poor and down troddened.
White Americans have a
choice between “the teachings
of Jesus and continuing the old
policies of divisions, distrust,
discrimination, prejudice,
hatred, segregation, destruction
and death -- the policies that
produced the man that shot
Dr. King.”
The positive impact of Dr.
King’s fife was shown this
weekend in speeches by Sen.
Edward Kennedy and President
Carter who said their moral
vision was improved and their
feelings of brotherhood were
enhanced as result of the
teachings of Martin Luther

King’s work is shown in the
shame and embarrassment of
some whites, Dr. Gloster said,
as well as the work of whites
seriously applying King’s
doctrine to achieve equality.
Blacks, too, will be tested by
Dr. King’s teachings, he said.
“It is time for us to stand up
and be counted. We must be
proud of our blackness and our
culture and be angry in a
constructive way.”
“There is no limit to what
we can accomplish. Each of us
must stand tall and erect and
act better than we did before
King was killed.
“He has pointed the way to
the mountain top.
“The dream can be attained
by those who love their
fellowman and who refuse to
see other human beings denied
the good life because of a
difference in race, creed, color
or sex.
“Our fallen leader has issued
a call of love and nonviolence
to a sick and sinking society,
And has painted for us his
dream of peace and justice. Let
us join hands and show that we
can make a reality of the
dream that never has been yet,
and yet must be -a land where
every man is free.”

there was discontent and
confusion, he brought calm
and certainty.”

of his team and he
strengthened me...He was at
times an enigma and he was the
respected nemesis of the
adversaries of Paine College.”

Robertson said Dr. Richardson
was “frank and to the point. He
looked up to no man. And he
looked down on no man.”
Dr. Harry O’Rear, who was

acting president of Paine said,
“I know of no person more
loyal to Paine.”
