CERTIF1CATE of RECOGNITION
By virtue of the authority vested by the Constitution in the Governor of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, there is hereby officially recognized:
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY
WHEREAS , the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia
on January 15, 1929, was ordained minister at the age of 19, and rose to national
prominence as a leader of the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s; and
WHEREAS, Dr. King, in true Jeffersonian fashion, embraced the vision of an
America where, "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal. .. ",
and a nation whose citizens judge one another "not by the color of their skin, but by the
content of their character"; and
WHEREAS, Dr. King's leadership, will, and compassion at civil rights protests
throughout our nation inspired millions to believe in his dream for an America in which all
her countrymen are treated equally and justly; and
WHEREAS , Dr. King was a peaceful and loving man, preaching nonviolence to his
followers, both black and white , as they rallied around him time after time, peacefully
assembled in "a beautiful symphony of brotherhood" representative of his dream which we
continue to strive for in our homes, our communities, and in our great Commonwealth; and
WHEREAS, people everywhere continue to look to Dr. King's example as a model
in human relations, and his role in the struggle for civil human rights has persisted since his
assassination in 1968 and will continue until his vision of universal freedom, equality, and
justice is finally realized;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, James S. Gilmore, III, do hereby recognize January 15,
2001 as MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY in the COMMONWEALTH OF
VIRGINIA, and I call this observance to the attention of all our citizens.

KINGSPORT - Martin Luther King Jr. Day should not be a day off, but rather a day on - to do
good in the community and to help carry on the legacy of the slain civil rights leader. Pastor
Ronnie Collins gave this message during the annual MLK Day parade in downtown Kingsport on
Monday, where this year's theme was "Remember! Celebrate! Act! A Day On, Not a Day Off."
"Remember the legacy of Dr. King, all that he stood for and the great works that he did.
Celebrate his 82nd birthday, the national holiday. And the 'act' part is to do something. Do
something in the community- an act of kindness or love or help someone less fortunate,"
Collins said. "It's not a day off, but it really should be a day on and doing good to carry on the
legacy." More than 70 people walked in Mon-day's parade, which stretched from East Sevier
Avenue to Kingsport's City Hall. The event drew as many young people and children as adults
and seniors, with about half of the participants being Caucasian. Many people carried signs and
banners with messages of "Justice, Equity, Compassion for All" and "I Stand on the Side of
Love."

MLK's legacy
• 'He was a great American and challenged all of us to walk together and see

By CHELSEA SHOUN
cshoun@timesne ws.net
KINGSPORT - Martin Luther King Jr. would
have been pleased with how he was remembered
iu Kingsport .Monday, said the organizer of a parade held to honor the late civil rights advocate.
"I believe the legacy, the legacy of Dr. Ki ng as
we stood together, really came through very
well," said the Rev. Ronnie Collins, who organized the parade in downtown Kingsport.
More than 100 people turned out for the event,
Collins said. Alderman Nathan Vaughn, Police
Chief Marie Addington and various church leaders took part in the parade.
King, who advocated nonviolent protest and
wo uld have been 73 last week, was assassinated
in 1968 in Memphis.
"It's not just a black thing, and it's not just that
Dr. King was. a great black American," Collins
said.
"He was a great American and challenged all
of us to walk together and see each other as
brothers and sisters."
However, King would say American society
still has a ways to go before truly seeing each
other as equals, Collins said.
"And it's not just in Kingsport but in the region and country itself. We've come a long way in
the last 30 years, but we have not come to the
fruition of the true dream," Collins said.
Over the next year, Collins said he hopes some

of the people who took part
Monday will encourage others
to attend 2003's parade.
"We're one of those areas
throughout the country with a
smaller percent of African
Americans," Collins said.
"It's really difficult for us to
keep up with what's going on in
major cities. We're far behind
what goes on in Atlanta, in D.C.
and other major cities," he
said.
O'ler the past five years,
Collins said the Tennessee and
Virginia Fellowship Against
Racism has tried to catch ilp.
"But part of our job is to
make people aware of situations," he said of the effort to
commemorate King.
"Children are stili looking
for examples, not just football
playerS and superstars they see
on TV. They're looking for people of all ethnic origins working
together," Collins said.
While Collins said he wasn't

Monday's
turnout, it definitely could have

younger people. About 40 students participated, he said.
"To me, there could have
been 5,000," Collins said of the
turnout.
"Those who don't have the
day off aren't willing to sacriflee an hour's vacation time to
go. We have to be more committed and have to think about taking off at least during parade
time," he said of the noon
event.
Also at Monday's event, 60
low-income families received
turkeys and other foodstuffs to
help them through the coldest
_ time of the year.
"Today is not a day off . We
should be doing things to do
things in our society," Collins
said. "We need to change our
communities and do it in a positive way."
"Project Food for Winter

KINGSPORT- Martin Luther King Jr. would have
been pleased with how he was remembered in
Kingsport Monday, said the organizer of a parade
held to honor the late civil rights advocate.

"I believe the legacy, the legacy of Dr. King as we
stood together, really came through very well,"
said the Rev. Ronnie Collins, who organized the
parade in downtown Kingsport.
More than 100 people turned out for the event,
Collins said. Alderman Nathan Vaughn, Police
Chief Mark Addington and various church leaders
took part in the parade.
King, who advocated nonviolent protest and would
have been 73 last week, was assassinated in 1968
in Memphis.

King was a great black American," Collins said.

"He was a great American and challenged all of us
to walk together and see each other as brothers and sisters."
However, King would say American society still has a ways to go before truly
seeing each other as equals, Collins said.
"And it's not just in Kingsport but in the region and country itself. We've come a
long way in the last 30 years, but we have not come to the fruition of the true
dream," Collins said.
Over the next year, Collins said he hopes some of the people w4o took part
Monday will encourage others to attend 2003's parade.
"We're one of those areas throughout the country with a smaller percent of African
Americans," Collins said.
"It's really difficult for us to keep up with what's going on in major cities. We're far

behind what goes on in Atlanta, in D.C. and other major cities," he said;
Over the past five years, Collins. s.aid the Tennessee and Virginia Fellowship
Against Racism has tried to catch up.
"But part of our job is to make people aware of situations," he said of the effort 1o
commemorate King.
nChildren ar~ still looking for examples,. not just football players and superstars
they see on TV. They're looking for people of all ethnic origins working together,"
Collins said.
While Collins said he wasn't disappointed in Mondafs turnout, it definitely could
have been larger and included more younger people. About 40 students
participated, he said.
"To me, there could have been 5,000,'' Collins said of the turnout
"Those who don't have the day off aren't willing to saerifiee an hour's vacation time
to go. We have to be more committed and have to think about taking off at least
during parade time," he said ofthe noon event.
Also at Monday's event, 60 low-income families received turkeys and other
foodstuffs to help them through the coldest time of the year.
"Today is not a day off . We should be doing things to' do things in our society,n
Collins said. ''We need to change our communities and do it in a positive way."
