WU"rc{u"vtkdwvg"vq"Mkpi"cu"Qdcoc"dgikpu"pgy"vgtoBernice A. King, the youngest daughter

of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. hailed

the inauguration of the nation’s first black

president to a new term as one of the

achievements made possible by the civil

rights struggle her father helped lead

decades ago.

Bernice King spoke at an Atlanta service

Monday on the federal King holiday, urg-

ing Americans to draw inspiration from her

slain father’s nonviolent campaign after a

difficult year of military conflicts abroad

and natural disasters at home.

“We pray that this day will be the begin-

ning of a new day in America,” she said.

“It will be a day when people draw inspi-

ration from the life and legacy of Martin

Luther King Jr. It will be a day when peo-

ple realize and recognize that if it were not

for Dr. King and those who fought the fight

fought in that movement, we would not be

celebrating this presidency.”

Monday’s King holiday — marked by pa-

rades, rallies and service projects around

the nation — coincided with celebrations

of President Barack Obama’s inauguration

to a second term in Washington. Many

paused to take stock of the progress made

by the country since the 1960s fight to end

racial segregation — and of challenges

ahead as Obama assumed a second term.

In Washington, Obama spoke proudly of

having taken the oath of office using a

Bible that had been owned by King. It was

one of two he used for the ceremonial in-

auguration Monday, watched by hundreds

of thousands.

“I had the great privilege that the Bible we

used was his Bible and they asked for it to

be inscribed,” Obama said after the cere-

mony. The other Bible belonged to Presi-

dent Abraham Lincoln.

Dozens in the crowd thronging outside the

U.S. Capitol to see Obama sworn in

stopped first outside the King Memorial for

photographs.

Across the nation, many Americans

paused to reflect on King and the changes

wrought in the nation since the civil rights

era.

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley called the

King celebration in that state “a great day

for America.”

Hundreds of people rallied in Mont-

gomery, Ala., not far from where King

spoke at the end of a march in 1965 be-

tween the Alabama cities of Selma and

Montgomery against the racial segregation.

An Alabama state representative, Thad

McClammy, said King’s speech there in

1965 was one of the first steps in a nonvi-

olent campaign that opened the way for

new opportunities for minorities.

“It paved the way all the way from Selma

to Montgomery to Washington, D.C.,” said

McClammy.

Parades and rallies were held across many

states to salute the slain civil rights leader.

He was 39 years old when killed.

He is her adopted son, yet he killed

this Gainesville lady by striking her

head several times. Afterwards, he took

her 2007 Mercury and traded it for

crack cocaine said Gainesville police.

Ms. Scott-Kotb had not been seen

since January 5, 2013 and some of her

relatives found her body on January 13

in her Bivens Cove apartment, accord-

ing to the Gainesville Police Depart-

ment. It appeared she had been dead for

several days, police said.

Neighbors, friends and family said

Scott-Kotb was a strong and caring

woman who lived by a motto: Help oth-

ers before you help yourself, and treat

other people how you want to be

treated.

They said Scott-Kotb especially ap-

plied this to her adopted son, Darryl

Dwayne Scott, 40, who family said was

living with her after a 12-year stint in

prison for attempted murder.

"My kindness is going to kill me,"

Scott-Kotb once told a neighbor Scott

was arrested on a charge of murder and

grand theft. Police spotted him Sunday

in Orange County driving a car — a

2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo — they

say he stole from Gator City Motors,

where he worked detailing vehicles. The

officer in Central Florida ran a check on

Scott and discovered he was wanted in

Gainesville for murder, GPD officer

Ben Tobias said.

Police found Ms. Scott-Kotb’s car on

January 14.

The last time anyone recalled seeing

Scott-Kotb alive was on January 5 when

a neighbor saw her and the car.

An autopsy showed Scott-Kotb died

from blunt-force trauma to the head,

Her car and her purse were missing

when she was found.

Celebrating the Dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. on the Eve of the

Inauguration of President Barack Obama to a Second Term

Talk of the Town!by Frances Bradley / Photos by Volume Burks

E kaabo (eh-kah-bow). Welcome.

Extraordinary, adj: going beyond what is usual, regular, or customary.

In the past week I heard the word extraordinary used on several occasions. It was used by

President Obama during his Inauguration speech and Mayor Alvin Brown and Ambassador

Andrew Young at the 26th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast on Friday, January 18,

2013. It was extraordinary!

The keynote speaker was Ambassador Andrew

Young, himself an icon of the Civil Rights era. He

marched along side Dr. King, was imprisoned for civil

rights demonstrations with Dr. King, and was beaten,

along with Dr. King, by vicious opponents of the change

Dr. King stood for in those days.

In his speech, Young, a former U.S. Congressman,

Mayor of Atlanta, U.N. Ambassador, and close advisor

and friend of Dr. King, recounted the days of the Civil

Rights Movement. And, while his message was food for

fodder for all at the event, it was especially aimed at the

young people selected as “Tomorrow’s Leaders”, who

were also honored at the Breakfast.

Referring to an upcoming education summit conven-

ing in Jacksonville by Mayor Alvin Brown, February

28-March 1, he praised the Mayor and the community

for focusing on equal access education to build jobs for

the next generation.

“Education gives you options,” said Mayor Brown in a press conference after the main

event. “I will work until I leave this earth to improve the quality of public education in [Jack-

sonville].”

He vowed to employ an education theme every year at the MLK Breakfast as long as he

is mayor. He called Dr. King “an ordinary man with an extraordinary vision” for the U.S. “He

was well prepared and had a good education,” said Brown.

Ambassador Young told the audience of nearly 2,500 that Dr. King recognized the inherent

dangers of being the face of the Civil Rights movement. According to Young, Dr. King be-

lieved, “If four hundred Secret Service could not keep President Kennedy alive, then…” one’s

fate is in the hands of destiny.

He urged citizens to keep guns out of the daily struggles that we face, and act in a spirit of

forgiveness. He referred to the example set by Dr. King’s assassination, likening the bullet

which felled him as an instrument releasing the spirit of Dr. King around the world as the

Berlin Wall came down, the lone Chinese student stood down a column of tanks in Tianamen

Square, and the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) dissolved.

Young spoke about the progress of St. Augustine in the 50 years since he was jailed during

a demonstration in the nation’s oldest city and Jacksonville civil rights attorney, the late Earl

M. Johnson, Sr., arranged the release of the arrested demonstrators and advised King, (Rev.

Ralph) Abernathy, and Young.

At the press conference, I asked Ambassador Young to comment on what he thought Dr.

King’s position might be today about the new gun laws.

“Dr. King did not believe guns provided security or safety. He would have focused on ed-

ucation, the lost and the lonely.”

Referring to Dr. King’s last book, Chaos or Community, Young said, “We’re on the verge

of chaos. But, the answer is not guns. The answer is community. Bring community together,

guns go back in the drawer.”

Dr. Nikolai Vitti, Superintendent of Duval County Public Schools, also attended the break-

fast and press conference. He praised the Mayor’s focus on education and for recognizing

that their jobs in that regard are intertwined. He emphasized strengthening education and civic

involvement as key to transforming any city. He plans to continue engaging the community

and schools by going into the community instead of waiting for the community to reach out

to him.

Winners and runners-up of the State Farm sponsored “Tomorrow’s Leaders” were recog-

nized during the program. First place winners recited their winning essay and received an

award at the breakfast.

The “Tomorrow’s Leaders” program recognizes elementary, middle and high school stu-

dents who exemplify the ideals and principles of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and excel in com-

munity volunteerism, leadership and civic responsibility. The 2013 first place winners are:

Tianna Terry, 5th Grade, Amber Kristin Brown, 6th Grade, and Duane Moore, Jr., 12th

Grade, elementary, middle school, and high school divisions, respectively. The runners-up are

Sheila Hodges, JaQuon Baker, and Haley Geeser, elementary, middle school, and high

school divisions, respectively.

The story of high school winner, Duane Moore, Jr. drew a collective emotional response

from the audience as he told of estrangement from his family, which forced him into home-

lessness. Through Daniel, the non-profit agency that provides support to children suffering

from abuse, neglect, or abandonment, the high school senior now lives in a rented apartment

provided by the agency, is employed, and attends Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, where

he is a vocal and visual arts student. He plans to attend college to concentrate on 3-D animation

or voice.

As I listened to Duane, I remembered a young man who presented at the MLK Breakfast

many years ago, whose community and school involvement was so inspiring that Dr. Adam

Herbert, then President of UNF, approached the podium and offered the young man a full

scholarship to the University upon graduation from high school. That young man was Rahman

Johnson, the current Chair of the Ritz Theatre and Museum Foundation.

I hope that Duane Moore’s story will spur someone of influence or means to give this ex-

traordinary young man a similar boost on his path to a successful future.

Florida Star Readers Best 2013 Inaugural Moments By Marsha Dean Phelts and Michael R. Phelts

The 57th Presidential Inauguration on January 21,

2013, was a historic day in several ways and witnessed by

millions all over the world. What a day of memorable mo-

ments for us when Barack Hussein Obama was inaugurated,

shortly before noon for his second term as the 44th President

of the United States of America. Until memory fades, this

glorious day will remain swaddled in the hearts of so very

many. An estimated 1 million people from the United States

and nearly everywhere else ascended around the Capitol

Building in Washington, DC to be there. On the streets, the

people proudly proclaimed the President and his Inauguration

as “Back-2-Back.”

To participate in “Back-2-Back” 2008/2012 events of such

magnitude, thousands of The Florida Star Readers showed up

to be with POTUS*, FLOTUS** and the First Family. Car

loads of Florida and Georgia families and friends plied their

way along the 800-1000 mile long journey to the National

Mall. There were as well, numerous bus trips to the nation’s

capital sponsored by local organizations including the Asso-

ciation for the Study of African American Life and History.

Congresswoman Corrine Brown’s constituents in Congres-

sional District 5 have become accustomed to the Friends of

Corrine Brown excursions to the Nation’s Capital. For Inau-

guration 2013 Friends of Corrine Brown sponsored Luxury

Coaches and Amtrak Train services to Capitol Hill where they

were hospitably received. Congresswoman Brown provided

her guests with tickets to either watch the activities from Na-

tional Mall or from the comfort of the cherry veneer, granite

and marbled chambers of the Rayburn Office Building. The

call was the individual’s to make. Electoral College Delegate,

Leon Belton, and his wife, Joan, of Panama City who traveled

with our group, were privileged to be seated up front with

other distinguished guests of the President on the lawn of the

United States Capitol.

January 21, 2013 was an official Red Letter Day for two rea-

sons. First, it was the 27th celebration and observation of the

Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday/Holiday. The second reason

was that this was the day of the 57th Presidential Inauguration.

The Florida Star asked its readers to share their thoughts and

memories of their Best 2013 Inaugural Moments. This is

what they had to say…

Former Florida State Senator Tony Hill “For me standing

on the National Mall and looking all around at the diversity

in the crowd was a touching moment. Watching the First

Family riding up Pennsylvania Avenue was an awesome sight.

As I stated four years ago, 2008 was Historical!!! 2012 is per-

sonal!!!

What a Grand Celebration last weekend in DC. The time is

now and only together can we move forward, with that said,

four more years.”

Executive Director and Board Member

Middle Passage Markers Project, Ann Chinn and Dr.

Charles Cobb, Jr.

“This was the first presidential inaugural address that ad-

dressed citizenship in such an all-inclusive manner. Personally

we feel that one of the strengths of a US President of African

heritage is that the inclusion of all people in the concept of

this nation is not perfunctory but sincerely heartfelt. This per-

spective can be simply believed and conveyed in a way that

no previous national political leader could. That’s one of

Obama’s strengths.”

Rebecca Highsmith’s Family, Children and Siblings

Martha Allen, Susan Lavett Tillman, Denise Jackson Venus

Highsmith and Rebecca Highsmith all say: Our Best Moments

in the 2013 Inauguration were: Being in the Representatives

offices watching our President taking the Presidential oath a

second time. To watch both President and Mrs. Obama ride

passed us in their car with such a charming smile. We were

thrilled to have witnessed such a prestigious function. None

of us ever dreamed that we would have seen nor would have

had to opportunity to be in Washington, D. C. for this occa-

sion.

This was an experience of a life time full of excitement, en-

joyable time mingling with family, friends, and others from

all parts of the country. Congresswoman Corrine Brown

showed her beauty, poise, and went out of her way to make

sure we the people of her district enjoyed themselves. Many

thanks go out to Congresswoman Brown for showing up and

showing out!

Elder Leroy and Brenda Hutchins; Coach Ben Simmons,

II and Benjie Simmons, III

Our best inaugural moment was when we were part of the

crowd that received the “ first presidential wave” at the pa-

rade. We were positioned at the foot of the Capitol’s north side

in an uncharacteristically small crowd of people and news re-

porters. We waited patiently for the motorcade to leave the

White house. We witnessed the pageantry of the bands repre-

senting each of the armed forces as they marched in strict for-

mation down the hill and made precise steps in maneuvering

a left turn. There was even a fife and drum corps dressed in

their 1776 uniforms. Then the moment came

as the president’s car slowly followed the path. Just as the ve-

hicle made the left turn and before the secret service vehicles

overshadowed the car, the driver stopped. Then we saw the

hand and a faint glimpse of a smile from none other than Pres-

ident Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. The

crowd went wild.....and we did , too!

Linda J. Cooper, PRIDE Book Club

This was my first inauguration. I loved being in the midst of

people of all nationalities and other countries coming together

as a living witness to the second swearing in of our 44th pres-

ident. During the course of the day I walked among many peo-

ple and stood in line at several security check points with no

angry words or exchanges you would expect with that many

people involved. With all of the political dysfunction, the In-

auguration Day gave me true hope of what it feels like to be

part of a collective group and I will never forget that day!

Jackie D. Hart, Educator

Gainesville

My best moment of the 2013 Inauguration was to experience

the electricity of hundreds of people at the MLK Memorial

celebrating King’s birthday; and at the same time, celebrate

with thousands—our 44th President at the 57th Inauguration

of America. This was an awesome moment for me, to cele-

brate two of the greatest African American men of my time.

Kayaunna Dean, 1st Grader at

Sommerset Academy

My best Inauguration moment was when my dad and I were

walking down the street and then I saw the White House right

in front of me up the hill. The White House is the biggest

house I’ve ever seen. (Little Kayaunna’s dad couldn’t get her

to understand that she was looking at the Capitol Building and

not the White House).

Kyle Dean

Dean’s Environmental Lawn Service and Pest Control

My best moment of the Inauguration was being a part of the

whole process. I had a smile on my face that lasted from the

moment we left Jacksonville until long after our return. I even

smiled in my sleep. Going to the 1st, and 2nd, Inauguration

of the 1st African American President of the United States of

America was a great historical moment for me. Both times I

was able to personally experience the good feelings and ex-

citement of Americans and from people from all over the

world.

Roslyn “Auntie Roz” Burrough

Performer

I was a guest at a flawless commemoration celebration of the

Inauguration in the home of Delores Gardner James and Fam-

ily. There were about 50 baby boomers and elders in atten-

dance. I will always treasure looking and listening to our

Brilliant, Fine Brother President take the oath, (I stood, raised

my right hand and took the oath with him.) sharing … expe-

riencing the prayers and grunts and tears of pride and joy in

that room was awesome. I could see the history and feel the

promise. There are many best moments; President Obama’ s

perfect all inclusive unifying speech!... So-o-o-o many best

moments. I am grateful to be well and in my “right mind” so

that I can add this experience to my blessed memories as I

move forward with the purpose GOD has for my life!!

Marsha Dean Phelts, Author of

cornbread, stew beef and rice, baked chicken, etc, in the

Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Meeting Room

of the Rayburn House Office Building while watching Presi-

dent Obama’s “Commander In Chief commanding walk” out

of the United States Capitol Building on to the platform to

take his second oath of office as President of the United

States, with his right hand on the Bible that Martin Luther

King, Jr. prayed from on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This

was my moment, my best moment. This was a day of special

moments for me for just 69 years ago on this very date,

January 21, 1944, I was born to Charles and Eva Cobb Rosier

at Brewster Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida. As fate would

destine it Barack Hussein Obama will forever be the 44th

President of the United States of America. Until memory

fades, this glorious day will remain swaddled in my heart.

JANUARY 26, 2013 THE STAR PAGE 9

Head coach Mike

Smith announced during

his Monday news confer-

ence after Sunday’s 28-24

loss in the NFC

Championship game that

quarterback Matt Ryan

was injured near the end of

the game. Smith said the

injury was a sprained left

shoulder.

“If we had the out-

come that we wanted last

night, he would have par-

ticipated in the game in

New Orleans,” Smith said

Monday.

Smith added that

Ryan would not be playing

in the Pro Bowl in Hawaii

this weekend. Smith also

said that Ryan would not

require surgery.

“He will be rehab-

bing here over the next

couple of weeks and then

he’ll get on to his offsea-

son,” Smith said, who

added that the training

staff feels it’s a three-to-

four-week recovery peri-

od, meaning Ryan will be

ready to go when the

Falcons start offseason

training April 24.

Ryan possibly

becomes the second of

three Falcons to say they’ll

miss this weekend’s Pro

Former Jacksonville

Giant, Christian Laettner

To Receive 2012

Championship Ring

Duke University standout, NBA veteran, and

Olympic “Dream Team” gold medalist, Christian

Laettner, was presented with a National

Championship Ring from the 2012 National

Champions Jacksonville Giants owner Ron Sholes on

Friday night. Laettner played five games for the

Giants during its 2011-2012 Championship run before

being selected mid-season as Assistant Coach of the

NBA Development League team, the Fort Wayne Mad

Ants.

“Laettner will be best remembered by the

Giants for his assist in the first game of the Giants

2011-2012 season where the Giants faced the tough

Gulf Coast Flash,” said Sholes. “With three seconds

left and the GIANTS behind by two points, Laettner

inbounded the ball with ease to Mike Polite who

dropped it off to Currye Todd who drained a 30-foot

jump shot. The crowd went wild!”

Head Coach Kevin Waters said of Laettner,

“He not only played, he coached, too. The team

enjoyed learning from one of the all-time champions

of the sport of basketball. His efforts in that first game

accomplished our win and gave the team well-needed

confidence to win.”

At the end of the 2012 season, Laettner was

selected as a television color commentator for the

2012 Summer Olympics held in London, England.

And this past December, the 1992 Olympic Dream

Team was recognized with a float in 2012 Macy’s Day

Parade, with Laettner waving proudly from the float.

When asked about the experience, he modestly stated,

“Being on that float was one of the highlights of my

life. It is hard to put into words the feeling you get

being cheered on by millions of spectators and know-

ing that nearly 100 million people are watching on tel-

evision.”

Today, Christian, 44, runs his own youth bas-

ketball training camp (Christian Laettner Basketball

Academy) and works with professional athletes wish-

ing to improve their basketball skills and technique.
