been a year since Coretta

ous applause when she sur-
prised guests at the annual

and appeared on stage, smil-
ing and waving with her chil-
dren.
On Saturday, guests again
applauded the widow of
Martin Luther King Jr., as she
was honored posthumously
for her human rights contri-
butions and work to preserve
her husband's legacy in the
decades after his death.
The event is the primary
fundraiser for The Martin
Luther King Jr. Center for
Nonviolent Social Change,
which Coretta Scott King
founded in the basement of
the couple’s home shortly
after her husband's death in
1968.
King suffered a stroke and
heart attack in August 2005
and battled ovarian cancer
before she died in January
2006.
The loss of this amazing
and gallant woman was dev-
astating for the nation and the
King Center family." said her
nephew, Isaac Newton Fams
Jr. — who now leads the
Connection
200 N. Mission 227-2021
Martin Luther King Jr. Center
for Nonviolent Social
Change.
Civil rights widow Myrlie
Evers-Williams joined
Andrew Young. Atlanta
Mavor Shirley Franklin and
the King children in paying
tribute to the civil rights
matriarch.
“She was a woman that we
know lives on in our hearts,
minds and deeds." Evers-
Williams told the audience
"Coretta Scott King .was a
queen. Let us reach out and
embrace her.”
The coalition, led by
Franklin, that helped secure
the Morehouse College
Martin Luther King Jr.
Collection last summer was
also honored at the gala.
“This is the foundation of
a history yet to be told in
Atlanta,” Franklin said of the
collection — also known as
the King Papers — as she
accepted the Salute to
Greatness award from Dexter
King with Young by her side.
Recorded tributes from
Archbishop Desmond Tutu
and Maya Angelou were also
played during the dinner.
"She could so easily have
been satisfied to have been
the spouse ... of one of the
greatest human beings to
walk the planet Earth but.
no,” Ttttu said. "She was a
giant in her own right and so
many of us are so much the
better for being touched by
her”

VALDOSTA. Ga. — As
Big Brothers/Big Sisters cele-
brate National Mentoring
Month, members are encour-
aging local residents to reach
out to young men and women
in the community.
The month-long outreach
campaign, spearheaded by
the Harvard Mentoring
Project, MENTOR and the
Corporation for National and
Community Service, brings
national focus on the need for
mentors. The campaign also
works to inform individuals,
businesses, government agen-
cies, schools, faith communi-

various ways a community
can work together to increase
the number of mentors and
assure brighter futures for our
young people.
Locally. Joseph Campbell.
15, and Blake Taylor, 24.
have been matched through
the Big Brothers/Big Sisters
program for just over a year.
Since becoming a par. of the
program, the two have grown
as individuals and have
grown together.
“Blake was in college
when I first met him. and now
he owns his own contracting
business. I was like ‘Whoa,
he can do a lot stuff. I could-
n’t handle all that.’ He’s
inspired me to become a con-
tractor, or something like
that, and I want to have my
own business, too. He teaches
me lessons in life and about
becoming an adult.” said
Campbell.
Before getting matched 14
months ago. Campbell was
on the organization’s waiting
list for nearly eight years.
Like many of the young men
in the program, who also
come from single-parent,
only-child homes, the wait
sometimes became discour-
aging as he hoped for a male
figure in his life.
“I got frustrated during the
wait, but now everything is
good, and I like being able to
have someone to talk to and
do things with,” said
Campbell. “He’s a role
model. He helps me with my
homework when I ask, and
me. him and my mom hang
out at the house a lot and talk
and play. He shows me the
importance of having close

friends there when you need
something.”
Coming from a larger,
close-knit family. Taylor says
that it was his own upbring-
ing that inspired him to want
to make a difference in the
life of a youngster. Since
becoming a mentor, the pro-
gram has made a difference in
his life as well, as he finds the
warmth and welcome of an
extended family.
“I chose to become
involved because 1 had broth-
ers growing up. and both my
parents were around. There
were people there to help me
grow up, and I hated the
thought that there were young
people who didn’t have that,
and it’s great to give that to
someone.” said Taylor. “We
actually spend a lot of the
time eating, because Joseph’s
mother, Gloria Gracia, is a
fantastic cook. She’s
Colombian, and she makes a
lot of dishes that are different
for me and I enjoy them.
Really, we all hang out
together like a family.”
Reflecting on a once quiet
eighth-grader’s growth into a
cheerful Valdosta High
School freshman, Taylor
encourages others to become
mentors in the program as a
way to help boys grow into
positive men.
"The No. 1 difference that
I’ve noticed in Joseph is that
his confidence has grown.
When I first came around, he
didn’t talk very much and
now he’s a lot happier kid and
more vibrant and expressive,"
said Taylor.

volunteer or to enroll a local
child, call (918) 7444400.
