Time mag: Monday, Jan. 18, 2010 “Martin Luther King Jr. Day” By Frances Romero

Time mag: Monday, Jan. 18, 2010 “Martin Luther King Jr. Day” By Frances Romero



"This is not a black holiday; it is a people's holiday," said Coretta Scott King after President Ronald Reagan signed the King Holiday Bill into law on Nov. 2, 1983. But in the complicated history of Martin Luther King, Jr Day, it has only recently been a holiday for all the people, all the time.

Fifteen years earlier, on April 4, 1968, Mrs. King had lost her husband, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to an assassin's bullet. In the months after the death of the civil rights icon, Congressman John Conyers Jr. of Michigan introduced the first legislation seeking to make King's birthday, Jan. 15, a federal holiday. The King Memorial Center in Atlanta was founded around the same time, and it sponsored the first annual observance of King's birthday, in January 1969, almost a decade and a half before it became an official government-sanctioned holiday. Before then, individual states including Illinois, Massachusetts and Connecticut had passed their own bills celebrating the occasion.

The origins of the holiday are mired in racism, politics, and conspiracy. Three years after Conyers introduced preliminary legislation in 1968, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference — which King headed from its inception until his death — presented Congress with a petition signed by more than 3 million people supporting a King holiday. The bill languished in Congress for eight years, unable to gain enough support until President Jimmy Carter, former governor of Georgia and the first Democratic President since Lyndon Johnson, vowed to support a King holiday.

January 10, 2003 - 15-years ago - “Uniontown Road gets facelift” by Jamie Schmidt - Jamie Wagman

January 10, 2003 - 15-years ago - “Uniontown Road gets facelift” by Jamie Schmidt - Jamie Wagman.

“Uniontown Road gets facelift” By Jamie Schmidt, Times Staff Writer, Friday, January 10, 2003

For months, construction workers have been working in Westminster on Uniontown Road, from the intersection of Old New Windsor Road and West Main Street to the intersection of West Main Street and Md. 31.

Thomas B. Beyard, Westminster's director of planning and public works, said that the estimated $1.8 million road repair project was first envisioned 10 years ago.

Back then, the road was without sidewalks, a drainage system, or adequate water lines, he said.

"It had numerous bumps and was too narrow," he said.

"There were no sidewalks - people used to walk in the street. There were utility patches, too. It was in very poor shape."

Finksburg-based Meekins Construction is building retaining walls, sidewalks and a storm drain.

"Because they aren't doing paving work, most [construction] is underground," Beyard said. "It is difficult on the workers during snowfall, but big projects always carry into bad seasons."

Construction began in the late summer and Beyard said he expects the project to end in the early summer.

"People will definitely notice the benefits," he said. "A new water service will improve water for people in that area."

Beyard said that the city dealt with 15 to 20 property owners on this project. Uniontown Road resident Charles Dukehart said he is looking forward to the end of construction. The Dukehart family uses a back alley to get in and out of the neighborhood.

Currently, local traffic is allowed through the street, but normal traffic won't resume until the spring.

"We are trying to keep as much traffic off as possible right now for safety concerns," Beyard said.

Packing Smart and Traveling Light

Packing Smart and Traveling Light

By Rick Steves Retrieved Jan. 20, 2018


The importance of packing light cannot be overemphasized, but, for your own good, I’ll try. You’ll never meet a traveler who, after five trips, brags: “Every year I pack heavier.” The measure of a good traveler is how light he or she travels. You can’t travel heavy, happy, and cheap. Pick two.

One Bag, That’s It

My self-imposed limit is 20 pounds in a 9" × 21" × 14" carry-on-size bag (it’ll fit in your airplane’s overhead bin, at least on your transatlantic flight — though many European airlines restrict hand luggage to even smaller weights and dimensions). At my company, we’ve taken tens of thousands of people of all ages and styles on tours through Europe. We allow only one carry-on bag. For many, this is a radical concept: 9" × 21" × 14"? That’s my cosmetics kit! But they manage, and they’re glad they did. After you enjoy that sweet mobility and freedom, you’ll never go any other way.
