Change was being effected in the nation's black communities long before the word took center
stage in the last presidential election.Across the country, countless people have worked
tirelessly in their neighborhoods, churches, schools and communities to improve the lives of
those around them.The election of President Obama not only galvanized many to get involved,
but it also further invigorated those already in the trenches.

By transforming his activism as a community organizer into a career as a superstar politician
and ultimately commander-in-chief, Obama energized grassroots workers and imbued them
with a sense of validation.

"After the election, I was completely jazzed and charged," said LaDonna Redmond, who opened
Graffiti and Grub, a community-owned grocery store with affordable sustainable food on the
west side of Chicago. "Even in this economic downturn I was like 'We are opening our grocery
store, I don't need a bank [to provide funding].'"

Leadership is a vital concept in the African-American community and has shaped its history.
Redmond, like many leaders, was influenced by her passion to right what she viewed as a
wrong.- National Black Report.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. " Just Bringing It " Rare Footage



Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 –
April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman,
activist and prominent leader in the African-
American civil rights movement. His main
legacy was to secure progress on civil rights
in the United States and he is frequently
referenced as a human rights icon today.
King is recognized as a martyr by two
Christian churches. A Baptist minister, King
became a civil rights activist early in his
career. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus
Boycott and helped found the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference in 1957,
serving as its first president. King's efforts
led to the 1963 March on Washington, where
King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech.
There, he raised public consciousness of the
civil rights movement and established
himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S.
history.
