John Capuchino Dr. Marion Winters, a professor and administrator at De Anza College, opened the commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birth, which was held in the Hinson Campus center in conference rooms A and B. Winters introduced a friend of hers, Carolyn Jones, who came from The Boston Scientific, located in Cupertino. Jones fired up the crowd with a boisterous song, and then left the building in quiet contemplation as she ended her two song set with an old Negro spiritual that summoned all the soul in her voice. Then the keynote speaker, Minister Keith Muhammad , came to the podium and spoke about the life and times of the Reverend Dr. King and delivered a message of hope and unity. Followed by Minister Mohammed’s speech, a panel discussion of De Anza students and faculty discussed today’s black culture and lamented about the perceived complacency by so many minorities who, one panelist said, should never be satisfied with what little progress America has made concerning equality. The ceremony ended in a spirit of unity, and the ultimate goal had been achieved, to honor a great man, Dr. Martin Luther King.
