Instead, the House amended thechamber’s rules to allow the majority and minority caucusesto adopt their own policies regarding smoking for their individualmembers. Last week, House Democrats announcedthey were adopting a policy that prohibits smoking in all officesheld by the minority party.Rep. Kimberly Gardner, D-St. Louis, proposed the smoking-banmeasure as an amendment to the House rules. Gardnercited health concerns and said the ban would make thestate Capitol a safe, healthy place for lawmakers and constituents.“The only way to completely protect non-smokers is tocompletely eliminate smoking from indoor spaces,” Gardnersaid.Gardner presented the same measure before the HouseRules Committee on Tuesday, Jan. 15, but it was defeated byan 8-4 vote along party lines.As an alternative, House Republicans successfully addedan amendment to allow the separate Republican and Democraticcaucuses to ban smoking in the offices of their individualcaucus members.Smoking is already banned in House and Senate chambers,as well as the Capitol’s hallways. Lawmakers, however,are allowed to smoke or permit smoking in their officesif they choose.– Matthew Patane/MPA NewsCOMMUNITYCALENDARMONDAY, JANUARY 21Beginning at 5:15 p.m. with weigh-in, WeightWatchers will meet at the Ray County Health Department,820 E.

By the samevote, the council approved an ordinance regarding operatinga motor vehicle within the city limits while an operator’slicense has been canceled, suspended or revoked.City Attorney Kevin Baldwin continues to re-work theordinance involving reporting nuisances. One of the changesin the ordinance calls for reporting a violation to a policeofficer instead of a health officer as stated in the current one.State Republicans rally against federal gun lawsEven before Pres. Barack Obama hadunveiled his firearms proposals, he cameunder attack from Republicans in Missouri’slegislature.“Everyone in this room, everyone in thisbuilding, in this state, in this country shouldwatch with great anticipation and skepticismabout what comes out of that process,” saidSen. Kurt Schaefer, R-Columbia, less thanan hour before Obama spoke on Wednesday,Jan. 16.Schaefer warned his colleagues thatrestricting firearms rights in the SecondAmendment of the U.S. Constitution couldopen the door for changes in other Constitutionalrights.Before the president was even able tospeak, however, one Republican state senatorcalled on his colleagues to uphold “therule of law” and be wary of any action comingfrom the federal government regardingthe Second Amendment.Since Missouri’s legislature convenedJan. 9, a number of firearms proposals havebeen proposed – some to impose additionalrequirements on firearms and many othersthat seek to block enforcement of federalrestrictions over weapons produced andowned in Missouri.HeAting Cost HAveyou worried?Upgrade to a More Efficient Furnace,to Save More in the Long Run.1-800-834-6365 • 816-776-6365We are looking for individuals that want a new career.Mediacom is seeking an INSTALLER to install cabletelevision and high speed internet within Excelsior Springs andthe surrounding areas.

Sincehe’s in second grade thismakes him completelynormal despite the obvious disadvantageof being that closely relatedto me.ByJasonOffuttAs I WasSaying...I liked Legosat his age and,frankly still do.I fondly rememberopening hugeboxes of Legosat Christmas andmarveling at whatI could build withall those thousandsof random pieces. Space ships, airplanes,guns, and the Jeeps, tanks,and helicopters for G.I. Joe my parentsnever bought me because ofsomething to do with G.I. Joe vehiclescosting more than the familycar. Considering the types of auctioncars Dad came home with thatmay have been accurate.The LEGO Group (yes a sillyname for a company, but it’s fromDenmark) may still produce thosehuge boxes of Legos, but I wouldn’tknow. The Legos from my youthhave been supplanted by Lego setsof Star Wars spaceships, Lord ofthe Rings castles, and quite possibly,accurate to-scale nuclear powerplants.Part of the fun of Legos was sizingup a pile of rectangles, squares,JasonLeggo my Lego, you mind-shrinking Daneswheels, and moveable pieces just toimagine what could be built, thensitting back with some satisfactionafter I’d finished building it.Now there are detailed instructionsto ensure your Lego toy looksjust like the picture on the side ofthe box.This has something to do withsociety going out of its way todestroy itself.The London Daily Mail headlinewas frightening: “Google generationwho spend life in front ofscreens are losing creativity andskills.” Trevor Baylis, one of “Britain’sleading inventors,” claimschildren who are spoon-fed informationare losing “creativity andpractical skills” and are “oftenunable to make anything with theirhands.”Which is exactly what the LEGOGroup is helping destroy. Don’tthink about what you can create; letus tell you what you should build.There is, however, one flaw inthis line of reasoning that involvesme. What second grader who’s notalready enrolled in M.I.T. can sit infront of hundreds of pieces of plasticand put them together in the rightorder? That’s like giving a child adictionary and asking them to recreatethe first couple of pages of “Warand Peace.”Sure, having an exact replica ofthe X-Wing fighter Luke Skywalkerused to blow up the Death Star isbeyond cool (I want one, too), butif you don’t have to work to buildit, is it really THAT cool? I mean,where’s the satisfaction of havingmade it yourself?There’s no satisfaction for secondgraders because most of theseblueprints require an engineeringdegree, and a decent knowledge ofSpanish.So, if young children aren’t puttingthese X-Wing fighters, andEiffel Towers together, who is?Let’s turn to Twitter:Jason’s tweet, 3:57 p.m., Dec.27: Just finished putting together a684-piece Lego set. Took me twohours. I still have a 1,094-piece setto assemble. I’m afraid.Do you have any idea what 1,094Lego pieces look like spread acrossa kitchen table? It looks like thecomic book superhero Plastic Manthrew up.If anyone needs me in the nextsix months, I’ll be in my kitchen,helping the Danes destroy the westernworld.Jason Offutt’s column has beenin continuous publication since1998 appearing in newspapersand magazines across the UnitedStates.

Johnson said a reduction to 10 percentof the current cash amount might allow his client’s family tofree her from jail.She’s been in custody since May 24, a day after Rheuportwas found dead in the bedroom of her Richmond home.According to court records, the prosecution believes BrandonSimpson, one of Gabbard’s co-defendants, strangled thevictim after burglarizing her home.Simpson is charged with murder in the first degree, aswell as two other felonies – burglary and stealing a controlledsubstance – as well as an unrelated misdemeanor.Gabbard and the third defendant, James Gant, are eachcharged with murder in the second degree, as well as the twolesser felonies, because they allegedly knew of the burglaryplan in advance.Under Missouri law, knowledge of a felony crime inwhich a death occurs makes a person liable – like Gabbardand Gant – to be charged with murder in the second degree.The prosecution’s case against the three defendants isbased, in part, on voice and text-message records recoveredfrom their cell phones. Those records are part of the evidenceJohnson referred to in his opening remarks to MillerFriday.The prosecution has alleged that Gant and Gabbardremained in Gabbard’s home while Simpson burglarizedthe Rheuport residence. According to court documents, thepair were instructed to keep an eye on Rheuport’s son and agirlfriend and to let Simpson know if either left the house.Two injured in Sunday afternoon wreckTwo Rayville teens were injured Sunday afternoon aftertheir pick-up truck overturned.Britteny R.

Monday, January 21, 2013 • Richmond News NEW YEAR, NEW YOU | 92013Better Health, Finances and Well-being well-being for the New YearResolutions that can benefit your bottom lineMaking New Year’s resolutions is a tradition for manymen and women. How successful a resolution is dependson the person making the commitment.But money can be a great motivator when it comesto resolutions, which may be most successful when theyaffect a person’s finances. The following are a few resolutionsthat may not be entirely about money, but can stillsave you big dollars in the long run.• Quit smoking. In addition to the medical benefits ofquitting smoking, saying “so long” to cigarettes can alsosave men and women a substantial amount of money. Theaverage cost of a pack of cigarettes depends on where youlive, but a report from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kidsfound that the average cost of pack of cigarettes in Californiain January 2012 was $5.71, with the state collectingroughly 22 percent of that total in taxes, placing them 33rdamong the 50 states in taxes collected on cigarettes.Smokers who quit will no longer be spending nearly $6or more per pack of cigarettes, and quitting may also lowertheir health insurance premiums, which were 14 percenthigher for smokers than nonsmokers according to researchfrom eHealthInsurance.• Pay more than the minimum on your installmentloans. It might sound odd to pay more than you’re requiredeach month in an effort to save money, but paying morethan the minimum on installment loans, including studentExudE HEaltHinEssWith our aesthetic procedures and productslet us help you look and feel your best.• hCG Weight Loss Program• Botox ® Treatments• Sclerotherapy• Medical Grade Microdermabrasion• Chemical Peels• Gemsonic Infusion• Latisse ®• Juvéderm ® Cosmetic FillersRichmond Family clinic420 Wollard Blvd.Richmond, MO816-470-2131Dr. Jamie Honeycutt, MDBoard Certified Physicianloans, mortgages and car notes, reduces the amount ofinterest you’re paying in the long run, shortening the lengthof the loan in the process. Paying as little as $20 extra permonth can significantly reduce the amount of interest youwill pay over the life of a loan.• Learn about finance. If you have little knowledge offinance and investing, then you are likely paying someoneto handle your finances or maybe even storing your moneybeneath the mattress. Learning about finance, whether youlearn on your own or take courses, can help you gain greatercontrol of your finances, reducing the amount of moneyyou’re spending for someone else to look after your money.In addition, learning about finance can help you grow yourmoney rather than having it collect dust under the mattress.• Eliminate your debt. Some resolutions are more popularthan others, and eliminating debt is one of the morepopular New Year’s resolutions. But some people don’trealize just how to eliminate debt. While it’s importantto save money, high-interest debt should be eliminated asquickly as possible. For example, if you pay off a creditcard that charges you 10 percent on your account balancewith money you might have deposited into a savingsaccount that earns just 1 percent interest, then you willhave gotten a 9 percent return on your investment. It’simportant to save money, but don’t do so at the expense ofignoring existing high-interest debt.New Year’s resolutions are not always easy to keep, butthose that can positively affect your bottom line may beeasier to live up to.Family WealthCare CenterRETIREMENT PLANNINGSPECIALISTSWe can help you with…• Pension & Benefit Elections Center• Retirement Family Plan WealthCare Rollovers Center• RETIREMENT Social Security Retirement & Medicare PLANNING Planning Options Specialists• Retirement SPECIALISTS Income SolutionsWe can help you with...• Portfolio Diversification• IRA • PensionWe Consolidation& Benefit Elections • Portfolio Diversification• Retirement can Plan help Rollovers you with… • IRA Consolidation• Financial•Social SecurityConsultation& Medicare Options& Planning• Pension & Benefit • Retirement Elections Income SolutionsCall us today to learn about the importance• Retirement PlanofRolloversplanning for your retirement.• Social Security & Medicare Options• Retirement Bradly Income E.

It’s not entirelywhat you are eating that cancause weight gain but whatthe body thinks it is eating (ordrinking) that plays a role.There are two factors atplay with regard to the artificialsweetener conundrum.First, the University of TexasHealth Science Center in SanAntonio has researched thepotential link between obe-Vitamins and cancer preventionbeen known to have variousbenefits, including reducinga person’s risk of developinglung, breast and colon cancer.Those with high bloodlevels of B6 have a lowerrisk, but there is no proofthat taking B6 supplementswill have the same benefits.Some studies indicate thatvitamin E supplements mayreduce men’s risk of developingprostate cancer. Studiesin the 1970s suggestedthat high doses of vitamin Ccould be an alternative cancertreatment, says the MayoClinic. These findings weredebunked when it was discoveredthe research methodsused to reach the conclusionswere flawed. Subsequentstudies did not corroboratethe 1970s results.However, more attention isnow being paid to administeringvitamin C intravenously,which has differenteffects than when the vitaminis taken orally. Untilclinical trials are completed,researchers cannot say forsure if intravenous vitaminC will be the new all-naturalcancer cure.It is important to notethat taking vitamin supplementsat the suggested levelsrecommended shouldbe relatively safe for mostpeople. Individuals shouldnot super-dose vitamins inan effort to achieve betterhealth results. Also, peopleshould discuss any vitaminsupplement use with doctors,as some supplementsmay cause potentially harmfulinteractions with certainmedications.WellneSSCHeCkupSBloodWorkpHySiCalSekG’SX-rayWomenSHealtHdot pxdruGSCreenSStay HealtHyJOhn E.

In addition tohelping with sleep, moodand other functions in thebody, serotonin helps tell thebody when it is full. Whennatural foods and sugars areconsumed, serotonin signalsto the brain to turn off yourbody’s appetite. However,artificial sweeteners may prolongthe release of serotonin,and your appetite remains infull force long after it shouldhave abated.Another component ofartificial sweeteners, particularlyaspartame, is that thesechemicals can trick the bodyinto thinking it has, in fact,consumed sugar. That triggersthe pancreas to producethe insulin needed to regulateblood-glucose levels. It alsocauses the body to store theglucose as fat. This can leadto low blood sugar, whichmay cause you to eat a sugarytreat in response.

Monday, January 21, 2013 • Richmond News NEW YEAR, NEW YOU | 11Healthy ways to speed up your metabolismDieters are often aware of metabolism and its effect onan individual’s weight. Metabolism is a process that servesa host of important functions, including converting foodand drink into energy and using energy to construct certaincomponents of cells.Lifting weights and staying hydrated are two ways tospeed up your metabolism.For the perpetual dieter, metabolism can be a naturalbornenemy, a process that simply isn’t fast enough fordieters to lose weight. Even more frustrating, a person’smetabolism can hinge on genetics and gender. People mayinherit a speedy or slow metabolism. Gender plays a largerole considering men have a tendency to burn more caloriesthan women, even while resting. Those who inheriteda speedy metabolism are often the people who can seeminglyeat whatever they choose without gaining a pound.But gaining a faster metabolism isn’t just for men orthose who inherited a speedier metabolism at birth. In fact,there are several healthy ways to speed up metabolism.• Pack on some muscle. People with more muscle tendto have a higher resting metabolic rate. That’s becausemuscle burns more calories than fat. According to theAmerican Council on Exercise, each pound of fat burnsjust two calories per day, while various estimates suggesteach pound of muscle burns between 35 to 50 calories perday. Those figures might seem insignificant, but they addup over time and someone with significant muscle canburn considerably more calories than someone without.Employ resistance training to build muscle, as such trainingactivates muscles all over the body, increasing yourdaily metabolic rate as a result.• Emphasize intensity. Daily exercise is great, buthigh-intensity daily exercise will prove more effective atspeeding up your metabolism. Low- or moderate-intensityworkouts don’t pack the same punch as high-intensityworkouts, which produce a longer increase in restingmetabolic rate. Sign up for a Zumba ® or spin class at yourgym, both of which are the kind of high-intensity cardiovascularworkout that can speed up your metabolism.• Embrace grazing. Grazing is a dietary philosophy inwhich individuals eat five to six smaller meals every threeto four hours instead of three large meals each day. Eatingthis way helps keep your metabolism going, and the resultis you will burn more calories throughout the day than youwould if you ate a more traditional diet. Of course, whatyou eat when grazing is important, too. Choose low-fat,high-nutrient foods, and snack on fruits and vegetablesinstead of more popular snacks like potato chips. Grazingon unhealthy foods won’t lead to weight loss and may evencause weight gain.• Eat more protein. Protein can serve many purposesfor people trying to lose weight. Protein has a tendency tomake you feel full when you eat it, reducing the likelihoodthat you will overeat. In addition, the body burns more calorieswhen digesting protein than it does while digestingfats or carbohydrates. Turkey, low-fat dairy products, fish,2013nuts and beans are great sources of protein, which shouldnot be all you eat but can be used as a periodic replacementfor other foods that may slow down your metabolism.• Stay hydrated. Your metabolism will likely slowdown if you allow yourself to get dehydrated. When thebody does not have enough water, several of its functions,including its ability to burn calories, slow down.Muscles are roughly 70 percent water, so if they are notfully hydrated they cannot generate energy, affecting yourmetabolism. In addition, the body is not as effective atusing fat as fuel when it is dehydrated, further slowingyour metabolism. Staying hydrated is as easy as drinkingenough water throughout the day. How much water anindividual needs to stay hydrated is open to debate amongmedical professionals, but one study found that adultswho drink eight or more glasses of water per day burnedmore calories than those who drank four glasses of waterper day.Many people feel they were either gifted at birth witha fast metabolism or doomed from the start with a slowmetabolism. But an individual’s metabolism is not setin stone, and there are a host of healthy ways men andwomen can speed up their metabolism.VeteransThank you for your service!Kansas City VA Medical Center isbringing healthcare closer to you!Visit our Excelsior Springs clinic,open Monday – FridayOr our Mobile Medical Unit, travellingto Carrollton every other Monday.Excelsior Springs Clinic197 McCleary Rd.Excelsior Springs, MO 64024To schedule an appointment call816-922-2970Mobile Medical UnitCarrollton Community Center710 Harvest Hills Dr.Carrollton, MO 64633To schedule an appointment call800-525-1483 x55714For more information, visit www.kansascity.va.gov.

Food that is contaminatedcan lead to illness and possiblyeven death. For instance,even a small bite of food that’scontaminated with the botulismtoxin can cost a personhis or life or lead to paralysis.While a mistake withregards to food safety canprove costly, there are waysto prevent those mistakes.The following are some foodsafety measures men, womenand children can take to ensuretheir food is safe for consumption,courtesy of the UnitedStates Department of Healthand Human Services.• Always wash your handsbefore preparing or eatingfood. Germs on your hands cancontaminate food. If you’repreparing a meal, always washyour hands before the preparationbegins and wash themagain in between handlingmultiple foods. For example,if you are handling raw meat,clean your hands before youtouch other foods you will bepreparing, such as potatoes orvegetables. Wash hands withsoap and running water for atleast 20 seconds.• Do not thaw food onthe counter. Thawing foodon the counter can be quitedangerous, as harmful germsmultiply very rapidly at roomtemperature. Instead of thawingfood on the counter, placefood in the refrigerator, defrostit in the microwave or submergefood in a pot of coldwater.• Do not let food coolbefore placing it in the refrigerator.Perishable foods thatare not immediately refrigeratedinvite illness-causing bacteria,which can grow in aslittle as two hours or as littleas one hour if the temperatureis above 90 degrees. Insteadof leaving perishable items onHow to establish a budget for the new yearthe counter, refrigerate themwithin two hours if not immediately.• Do not taste food tocheck if it is spoiled. Thebacteria that causes food poisoninghas no taste, so tastingfood to determine if ithas spoiled won’t do you anygood, but it can cause seriousillness if the bacteria is present.If you aren’t sure abouta certain food, simply throwit away.• Wash any plates or cuttingboards that held rawmeat. Raw meat as well aspoultry and seafood havegerms that can spread, especiallyif you use the sameplates or cutting boards forraw meat as you do cookedmeat. Thoroughly scrub anydishes that held raw meatbefore using them for anythingelse.• Do not wash meat orpoultry. Some recipes, especiallythose for Thanksgivingturkey, advice home chefs towash meat or poultry beforecooking. However, doing socan spread bacteria to the sink,countertops and other kitchensurfaces. Despite what a recipesuggests, never wash meat,poultry or eggs.• Do not eat foods withuncooked eggs. Eggs shouldalways be cooked thoroughly,as they may contain harmfulbacteria, including salmonella.Foods that contain uncookedeggs, such as raw cookiedough, while a tasty treat formany people, are potentiallyvery dangerous, exposing youto harmful bacteria that couldresult in serious illness.• Marinate foods in therefrigerator. Marinatingfoods is very popular, especiallyduring the barbecuingseason. However, marinatingfoods at room temperature,when harmful germs in meatand bacteria can multiply rapidly,should be avoided at allcosts. When marinating meat,poultry or seafood, always doso in the refrigerator.• Do not use leftover marinadeon cooked foods. Whenmarinating, there is typicallya significant amount ofmarinade left over. Howevertempting it may be to add a littleextra flavor by reusing thatmarinade once the food hasbeen cooked, doing so is verydangerous, as the germs fromthe raw meat, poultry or seafoodcan spread to the cookedfood.

Knowing what’scoming in is importantwhen establishing a budget,but so is having a firmgrasp of what’s going out.Make a list of all of yourmonthly expenses, fromthe big ones like a mortgagepayment to the smallerones like how much youspend on a cup of coffeeeach day. When makinga list of these expenses,make note of the daybills are due each month.This can help you determinewhich weeks of eachmonth you’ll be able tosave more money andwhich weeks you will needto tighten your belt andpay existing bills. Suchknowledge will help youestablish a budget.• Make a list of anticipatedexpenses. Someexpenses are there everymonth. Others are thoseyou expect, such as homeimprovement projects youplan to finance in the comingyear. Make a list ofthese anticipated expenses.This may involve takingsome inventory of thingsaround the house, such asany appliances that maybe on its last leg, biggerissues like a roof that mayneed to be replaced or abathroom you finally planto remodel. Once you havecompiled this list, researchhow much each projectfigures to cost you. Thisshould give you an idea ofhow realistic each projectis for you, and whetheror not you will be able totackle multiple projects inthe coming year.• Don’t forget aboutdebts. Many people plana budget more to get outof debt than to save for arainy day. When establishinga budget for the yearahead, calculate how muchdebt you’re currently carrying.Though you can doso if you prefer, it’s bestto exclude existing installmentloans like a mortgageor a car note from your listof debts. Though those canbe considered money youowe, they are more in linewith the monthly expensesyou need to live than creditcard debts you simply needto get rid of. If your debt isconsiderable or even small,see if there is anything youcan remove from your listof monthly expenses (i.e.,cable television or streamingvideo subscription) soyou can devote that moneyto eliminating your debt.In addition, those withconsiderable debt shouldprioritize ending that debtover projects you want totackle that aren’t exactlynecessities. For example,if your kitchen is outdatedbut still safe and functional,postpone the kitchenremodel until you haveeliminated your debt.• Decide where youcan cut costs. Chancesare you’re establishinga budget because youhave a specific financialgoal in mind or becauseyou examined last year’sfinancial statements andrealized you fell short ofyour savings goals. So youlikely know you need tocut some costs, and partof establishing a budget isdeciding which costs youcan cut. Some of the morecommon ways people cutcosts at the dawn of a newyear includes deciding todine out less, canceling acable television subscriptionor removing premiumchannels from their package,driving less to savemoney on fuel and forgoingstore-bought coffee forjava they make at home.Each of these budget cutscan lead to substantial savingsover a full year, andnone of them are life-alteringto the point of loweringa person’s quality oflife.• Include savings intoyour budget. Living on abudget is not always easy,especially for those peoplewho are not used to doingso. When establishing yourbudget, include weekly, biweeklyand monthly savingsgoals into the budget.If you stick to this plan,you will have somethingto show for your financialdiscipline at the endof each month, and light atthe end of the tunnel canbe a motivating factor asyou adapt to living on abudget.The new year is a greattime to turn over a newfinancial leaf, and establishinga budget is a greatway to get started on apath to a brighter financialfuture.

Monday, January 21, 2013 • Richmond News Martin Luther King, Jr | 13A look at the life and influence of Dr. KingMartin Luther King, Jr. played a pivotalrole in race relations in the United Statesfor nearly a decade. He helped secure theend of legal segregation of African-Americancitizens, created the Civil Rights Act of1964 and served as a source of inspirationfor black individuals across the globe.Dr. King did not begin his life as acrusader or public figure. He had muchmore modest beginnings in rural Atlanta.Born Michael King, Jr., he wasthe middle child of MichaelKing, Sr. and AlbertaWilliams King. MichaelKing, Sr. served as pastorof Ebenezer BaptistChurch upon the deathof his father-in-law,who was the church’sprior pastor.At thispoint,the elderk i n gdecidedtochangehis name to Martin Luther to honor thefamed Protestant religious leader. His sonsoon decided to adopt the name as well.A religious family, the Kings tried toshield their children from the realities ofracism that were alive and well in the country.They believed racism and segregationto be an affront to God’s will, and Martin,Sr. discouraged separation of class andtaught these lessons to his children. Thoselessons resonated with Martin, Jr.Dr. King attended Booker T. WashingtonHigh School and was so advanced hewas able to skip both the 9th and 11thgrades. He went on to college at the ageof 15, graduating from Morehouse Collegein 1948 with a degree in sociology. In hisjunior year of college, King enrolled in aBible class that sparked a renewed enthusiasmfor the ministry. He later enrolled inthe liberal Crozer Theological Seminary inChester, Pennsylvania, where he receiveda Bachelor’s of Divinity. Later he attendedBoston University and earned a Ph.D. atthe age of 25. It was during his time inBoston that he met his future wife, CorettaScott. While he was completing his dissertationwork, Dr. King became the pastorfor the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church ofMontgomery, Alabama.Martin Luther King, Jr. became directlyinvolved in the civil rights movement afterthe head of the local NAACP chapter inMontgomery met with him on the nightthat Rosa Parks was arrested for failure togive up her bus seat to a white passenger.Dr. King helped institute the MontgomeryBus Boycott. During this time, African-Americans refused to ride the public bussystem in Montgomery. The boycott lasted382 days. During that time, Dr. King’shome was bombed due to his involvementin the boycott, and he was arrested for conspiracy.His work paid off on December21, 1956, when the Supreme Court ruledthat racial segregation on public transportationwas illegal.Dr. King promoted nonviolent protestsagainst unfairness to the African-Americancommunity, urging civil disobedienceand peaceful protests, tenetsthat formed the basis forthe Southern ChristianLeadership Conference,or SCLC, which heled. He participatedin numerous nonviolentprotests andwas arrested severaltimes. During one stint in jail, he pennedhis famous, “Letter from a BirminghamJail.”Dr. King established a relationship withfellow African-American civil rights activistBayard Rustin, who shared similar interests,including the teachings of Gandhi.Rustin would serve as King’s mentor andalso was the main organizer of the Marchon Washington that took place on August28, 1963. Approximately 250,000 demonstratorswere involved in the march, andit was the largest demonstration in thenation’s capital up to that time. In front ofthe Lincoln Memorial, Dr. King issued hisfamed “I Have a Dream” speech. He latermet with President John F. Kennedy toappeal for greater rights for African-Americansand called for an end of segregation.As a result of his civil rights efforts, Dr.King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prizeon December 10, 1964, at the age of 35. Hewas the youngest person ever to receive thehonor. He donated all of the prize money tohis racial equality effort.Through the late 1960s, Dr. Kingexpanded his Civil Rights Movement toother cities. But he was often met withcriticism, especially when he appealed towhite middle-class citizens. Many militantblack organizations considered King’smethods too weak and ineffective. His supportwas faltering and Dr. King grew wearyof marches, jail and protests. However,in April of 1968, a labor strike in Memphisdrew King’s attention, and he gave aspeech about the sanitation labor dispute,which would prove to be prophetic. Thenext day, on April 4, Dr. King was hit by asniper’s bullet while standing on an outsideterrace of his motel room at the LorraineMotel. King’s words from the previous day,including, “I’ve seen the promised land.I may not get there with you.
