4 The Meaning of The King Holiday BY CORETTA SCOTT KING The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday celebrates the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America. We commemorate as well the timeless values he taught us through his example the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service that so radiantly defined Dr. King s character and empowered his leadership. On this holiday, we commemorate the universal, unconditional love, forgiveness and nonviolence that empowered his revolutionary spirit. We commemorate Dr. King s inspiring words, because his voice and his vision filled a great void in our nation, and answered our collective longing to become a country that truly lived by its noblest principles. Yet, Dr. King knew that it wasn t enough just to talk the talk, that he had to walk the walk for his words to be credible. It is a day of interracial and intercultural cooperation and sharing. No other day of the year brings so many peoples from different cultural backgrounds together in such a vibrant spirit of brother and sisterhood. Whether you are African-American, Hispanic or Native American, whether you are Caucasian or Asian-American, you are part of the great dream Martin Luther King, Jr. had for America. This is not a black holiday; it is a peoples holiday. And it is the young people of all races and religions who hold the keys to the fulfillment of his dream. Every King Holiday has been a national teach-in on the values of nonviolence, including unconditional love, tolerance, forgiveness and reconciliation, which are so desperately needed to unify America. It is a day of intensive education and training in Martin s philosophy and methods of nonviolent social change and conflict-reconciliation. The Holiday provides a unique opportunity to teach young people to fight evil, not people, to get in the habit of asking themselves, what is the most loving way I can resolve this conflict? On the King Holiday, young people learn about the power of unconditional love even for one s adversaries as a way to fight injustice and defuse violent disputes. It is a time to show them the power of forgiveness in the healing process at the interpersonal as well as international levels. May we who follow Martin now pledge to serve humanity, promote his teachings and carry forward his legacy into the 21st Century Bethel News Network (BNN) Page 4

5 January 2018 A Moment in ETTA MOTEN BARNETT ACTRESS & CONTRALTO VOCALIST Etta Moten was born in Weimar, Texas November 5, She was the only child of an African Methodist Episcopal Church pastor, Rev. Freeman F. Moten, and his wife Ida. Rev. Moten served as a pastor at St. James A.M.E. Church in Weimar and at Bethel A.M.E. Church in San Antonio. Etta started singing as a child in the church choir. She attended Western University, a historically black college (HBCU) in Quindaro, Kansas, where she studied music. She completed her Education at the University oo of Kansas, where she earned a B.A. degree in voice and drama in Moten became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, which provided a network throughout her career. Moten moved to New York City, where she first performed as a soloist with the Eva Jessye Choir. Jessye was a groundbreaking collaborator with Virgil Thomson and George Gershwin. Moten was cast in the Broadway show Zombie. On January 31, 1933, Moten became the first black star to perform at the White House. She performed in two musical films released in 1933: Flying Down to Rio (singing My Forgotten Man with Joan Blondell). Also in 1933 she stood in for Ginger Rogers by dubbing her singing in Professional Sweetheart. Gershwin discussed her singing the part of Bess in his new work Porgy and Bess, which he had written with Moten in mind. She was concerned about trying a role above her natural range of contralto. In the 1942 revival, she did accept the role of Bess, but she would not sing the word nigger, which Ira Gershwin subsequently wrote out of the libretto. Through her performances on Broadway and the national touring company until 1945, she captured Bess as her signature role. Etta stopped performing in 1952 owing to vocal problems. After her husband, Claude Barnett (head of the Associated Negro Press), died in 1967, she lived in Chicago, where she became active in the National Council of Negro Women, the Chicago Lyric Opera and the Field Museum. She was also active in the DuSable Museum, and the South Side Community Art Center. Etta Moten Barnett died of pancreatic cancer at Chicago s Mercy Hospital in 2004, aged 102. She left a legacy of numerous honors, honorary degrees and film and stage credits Bethel News Network (BNN) Page 5
