Two months before the historic March on Washinton in 1963, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. made his message heard loud and clear at Detroit's Cobo Arena. Now on the fiftieth Anniversary, Dr. King's Dream still lives in each of us.

On Saturday, June 22, there will be another Freedom March down Woodward and Forest Avenues to Hart Plaza. There is still work to be done and the UAW will be there to step up as we did fifty years ago when Walter Ruether marched with Dr. King.
