\n<\/TABLE>“When I think about Dr. King, I think about the strength of his commitment to overcoming enormous prejudices in our country and his unrelenting but passive approach. He demonstrated that one does not have to be violent to be seen and heard and thanks to his efforts and those of others who followed, we now have the opportunity to experience the traditions of people from a broad variety of ethnic backgrounds.” Charles Krobot, Pharm.D., associate dean for student affairs in the College of Pharmacy<\/B><\/I><\/p>\n
