\n<\/TABLE>“‘There comes a time when one must take the position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but one must do it because conscience (says) it is right.’ This Dr. King quote sums up his message for me, and it hangs at my workstation as a reminder. The struggle for social justice and civil rights has typically not been safe, popular or politic, but it is right, and necessary as long as people are still being marginalized.” Fran Higgins, administrative assistant in the School of Allied Health Professions<\/B><\/I><\/p>\n

\n<\/TABLE>“My personal thought on the message of Dr. King is one of universality and inclusiveness. Being an immigrant in this country, you sort of always have this feeling that you are different and not part of the mainstream. But his message reminds us that the dream for equality, social justice and liberty cross beyond race, ethnicity, religion or gender.” Fausto Loberiza Jr., M.D., associate professor in the department of internal medicine<\/B><\/I><\/p>\n
