A Tribute to Martin Luther King Jr.

On January 17, 2010 Congressman Mark Schauer hosted U.S. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn at the LCC West Campus. Eaton County residents were treated to Congressman Clyburn's powerful reflections on Dr. Martin Luther King and his impact on the course of our social progress.

Congressman Clyburn, who had worked alongside Dr. King, likened today's health care battle with the civil rights struggles of the 60s. He indicated that the current legislation is the first important round, and must be continually improved, just as voting rights were left out of the first civil rights package, and added later.

We are grateful to Congressman Schauer for bringing Congressman Clyburn to Eaton County, and encourage those who were not able to attend to read Dr. King's "Letter from the Birmingham Jail."

We also urge people to support efforts by Democrats, as we move forward, to improve health care coverage for the American people.


From L to R: Eaton County Commission Chair Joe Brehler, Delta Twp. Trustee Barb Poma, Congressman Mark Schauer, Congressman Jim Clyburn, Eaton County Commissioner Theresa Abed and Eaton County Commissioner Jeanne Pearl-Wright.
