The
Martinez family participating in the MLK march. They were there in
recognition that MLK spoke to a wide range of subjects: living wages,
nonviolence, dislike of a government that perpetrates violence. |

Todd
Kershaw arrived at the MLK march in a bio-diesel powered Mercedes.
In his particular case, "bio" means that the diesel engine
car is fueled with cooking oil discarded by a Chinese restaurant that
he has processed for this purpose. In the excitement of discussing
this and other innovative subjects, I forgot to ask Todd for a statement
about why he was marching today. I will guess that his interest in
alternative fuel sources has both an environmental and an anti-war
basis. If the U.S wasn't so dependent on oil, we wouldn't have such
a compromised view of the countries that produce it. |

Darien
DeLu, national co-President of WILF (Women's International League
for Peace and Freedom) spoke of how peace, justice, and civil rights
flow together. She appreciated MLK's insight that U.S. foreign policy
often works against all three. |
