创造改变要从一个人开始，就像一根火柴点燃一团火一样. Racial Trust Building Inc. Executive Director Chalton 歪斜的 ’88, who was the guest speaker at the college’s Martin Luther King Jr. 2023年“成为受人喜爱的社区”活动于周二举行. 马丁·路德·金1963年的《mg冰球突破全屏下载》激励了几代人为一项事业挺身而出.
“Martin Luther King Jr. 这是一个伟大的模式，我们可以看到一个人的力量推动行动，使整个城市和国家受益,” he said.
Before the Birmingham jail letter was written in April 1963, 阿斯丘说，这位民权领袖和南方基督教领袖会议与伯明翰当地的运动合作, the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. 他们的计划是参加一项直接行动，也被称为“C计划”.”
“活动组织者之所以称之为‘C计划’，是因为他们知道自己的电话被窃听了, so they used code names,” he said. “The letter ‘C’ stood for confrontation.”
阿斯丘说，这个项目的目的是在复活节期间向伯明翰的商人施加压力，以攻击伯明翰的种族隔离制度, the second biggest shopping season of the year. 他说，数百名参加午餐柜台静坐和市政厅游行的志愿者被逮捕.
While marching with fellow protestors, Dr. King was arrested in Birmingham on Good Friday, April 12. During his time in jail, 这位民权领袖写了一封信回应伯明翰八名牧师谴责抗议活动的声明.
“It was published in media outlets,” 歪斜的 said. “It was an appeal to the American conscience. You will see some similarities to what is going on today.”
He said it is important to learn from the past.
阿斯丘说:“这些事件塑造了我们的世界，让我们走到了今天。. If we want to make the world a better place, 我们需要回顾过去，看看我们错过了什么，并从错误中吸取教训. 历史伤害发生的地方往往是最能愈合的地方.”
He said he disagreed with Dr. 马丁·路德·金的一个孩子伯尼斯·金说父亲的信是永恒的.
“I would love to see the conditions that precipitated the need for Dr. 马丁·路德·金写的《mg冰球突破全屏下载》已经不复存在。. 我希望看到我们的社区在种族和谐中共同努力，造福所有人，不损害任何人. 我们必须决定看到他人身上的价值，并给予他们活出价值的自由.”
歪斜的, who has been involved with Racial Trust Building Inc. since its founding in Troup County in 2015, explained why the organization’s mission is important to him.
“我相信，只要我们齐心协力，就能消除阻碍所有公民平等享有充分机会的障碍,” he said. We can leave the world a better place than we found it if we act now. We still have issues to solve.”
歪斜的, who is a Troup County native, 他在mg冰球突破全屏下载的经历帮助他以现实的视角和期望面对成人世界.
“我在LC的时间为我自给自足和赋权的生活做好了准备，”他说. “这种信心让我陷入了困境，如果没有适当的准备，我是不会这样做的.”
为了上得起大学，他说他会在晚上工作，白天上课.
“It was hard, but my why was greater than my how,” 歪斜的 said. “我不会放弃上大学的梦想，在当地有一所大学是一种祝福.”
After graduating from LC, 他在mg冰球突破手机版下载的Interface公司从事会计和财务工作30年. 他的妻子, Connie ’96, who also attended LaGrange College, is a retired educator with Troup County Schools.
He explained what he hopes for future generations.
