A Message of Non Violence on the Day Of Dr. King

Coretta Scott King, Dexter Scott King, and the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.


A King among men: Martin Luther King Jr.'s son blazes his own trail - Dexter Scott King

It is impossible to meet Dexter Scott King and not be reminded of his illustrious father, die Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. But Dexter has his own identity and message. As president of the Atlanta-based Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Non-violent Social Change, he credits his vegan diet with giving him strength to further the goals of equality and justice.
King, 34, was introduced to vegetarianism eight years ago by comedian/activist Dick Gregory, who runs a vegan health spa in die Bahamas. After visiting Gregory's spa, King realized he felt healthier in body and soul when eating whole, natural foods.

Soul Vegetarian Restaurant & Exodus Carry-Out.

I am going to send a letter and I will FedEx it, I will include a copy of the story and my stern objection to the use of real cat fur and I will make it clear that million of Americans will be made aware and warned of this toy should it contain real fur. I will ask them to make an official statement denouncing the use of real fur and guarantee that only synthetic materials are used. Better yet stop marketing this creepy faux but "real" fur? animal all together.

PLEASE NOTE: Japanese people are very formal and polite and you may want to write your letter with this in mind. Naturally we want the person to read the letter and not throw it out right away so a respectful approach is very important.

Here is a web site that gives some advise on how you can formulate your letter to a Japanese person. CLICK HERE
