>> Delores Morton We are so thankful to the King Center and
the Carter Center for hosting today's America's Sunday Supper. America's Sunday Supper is
a signature program of Points of Light that brings people together across all that divides
us. To break bread, and start a conversation about what unites us.
>> Doug Shipman 50 years since the march on Washington, it
was an economic, and a social justice movement. We're trying to work to all be equal at a
table and sharing. If we apply that notion to education for a moment, that means we have
to love everyone else's kids, as much as we love our own kids.
>> Rev. C.T. Vivian It's very clear that if you're not educated,
you don't really survive in this society. The thing that stays on my mind is it's not
those that are in school that I'm concerned about, as much as those who dropped out of
school.
>> Zaqary Asuamah Good evening everybody, my name is Zaqary
Asuamah, and I will be reciting a very important speech that has changed many people's lives,
and still has the potential to change you and me. I have a dream, that one day on the
red hills of Georgia... Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at
last
>> Bernice King Well I have to admit, as the daughter of,
I could not do that. And I said to some people this year, that it just finally hit me, that
my father's speech "I Have A Dream" is not just one of, it's the most well known speeches
in the world.
>> Laysha Ward At the core of Target's commitment is a very
simple and yet powerful belief. Every child deserves a quality education, regardless of
race, or socioeconomic status.
>> Tracy Hoover What a great night, what a wonderful Sunday
Supper, you know I think it was a huge success and we were really just thrilled to be able
to have this in Atlanta and here at the Carter Center. We're terrifically grateful to Target
both for the work they're doing around education every single day in communities and also really
being a catalyst for charging and inspiring to think about what's next and what needs
to be done.
>> President Jimmy Carter I said that Martin Luther King Jr. was the
greatest Georgian who was ever produced, he's obviously the greatest american ever produced.
When I told Nelson Mandela that he said, maybe, the world. I didn't argue with him. Thank
you.
