The majesty of The Lion King is cinematic legend, and when it comes to video games, its SNES adaptation truly pushed the limits of what was possible in the 16-bit era. From its nuanced character animation to its epic (and gut-wrenching) Wildebeest stampede, the Serengetti-spanning scope of the film was impressively captured on cartridge in all its glory. This ultimate Legacy Cartridge Collection edition pays tribute to the impossible feats that The Lion King achieved way back in 1994, with painstakingly restoration of all the original artwork and presentation in a premium package fit for royalty, complete with all the retro trappings, including an all-important, custom dust cover.
At AFSCME, we are proud to have deep historical ties to Dr. King. In 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee, 1,300 Black sanitation workers represented by AFSCME Local 1733 went on strike. In an act of incredible courage, they took a stand against dangerous and degrading working conditions, the 20th century plantation they toiled in every single day. They wanted recognition of their union, but also recognition of their basic humanity. In the face of tear gas and nightsticks, they marched under a simple but defiant slogan: I AM A MAN.
Jeanetta Nelms reflects Dr. King's legacy as a quiet humanitarian who gives so much of her time, talent, and treasure to make her community better. Jeanetta's commitment to equitable opportunities, particularly in education and civic engagement, is incredibly admirable. As a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated Kappa Tau Omega chapter, she served as chair of their scholarship and connections committees. She has consistently been intentional in identifying Black and Brown students in our local schools who can benefit from the scholarship. Once a recipient is selected, she goes above and beyond to make sure they have what they need in preparation for college. She goes the extra mile and does looking for nothing in return. She energizes and mobilizes chapter and local community members, encouraging them to stay abreast of issues that affect and empowers members to get involved fully in the election process. People can be counted on to receive an email, text message, or phone call from Jeanetta with a reminder to check voter registration status, go to the polls, attend a local meeting, and engage in local government. As a retired educator and college administrator, she grew up in the rural South and taught mathematics for many years. She is a proud graduate of University of Arkansas Pine Bluff, an HBCU. She was the first director of the 21st Century Scholars Program at Indiana University, an initiative that began in the 1990s in which pathways to higher education are created for students as early as 7th grade. Jeanetta, along with her husband Charlie, have financially supported countless students in their pursuit of higher education through various scholarships at colleges and universities across the nation. She has mentored many graduate students pursuing degrees at Indiana University, often creating a sense of belonging for Black students who experience challenges finding community in a predominately white city. She has consistently supported community initiatives and organizations including the Banneker Community Center, Boys and Girls Club Crestmont, and local schools. She is a giver who has a heart of gold and why her contributions are so impactful. She has a kind and warm disposition that encapsulates everyone that she encounters. She is a mover and shaker in our community, and it is a privilege to have her serve alongside us in efforts to make the community better.

WILLIAMS: Well, a tremendous controversy, a controversy at the moment of the possible sale of the King Center. Coretta Scott King and her daughter Bernice had been opposed, the two boys Dexter and Martin Luther King III have supported the idea of selling it to the federal government and letting them run it. The King Center is now sort of run down. But the larger controversy is about Coretta Scott King's very intense control of every aspect of the King legacy, from his speeches, his letters, books he wrote, images of Dr. King.
And people felt as if, really, she should have been helping to get that message and the King legacy out more to the people rather than trying to control it, and demand money in some cases for it. So, she felt she needed the money to support and sustain the King Center. It became a real controversy among people involved in the movement. In addition, she was never a supporter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which the organization that her husband supported, and people felt maybe she should have embraced that as well.
Reflecting on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday that she felt there was no greater calling than \"to look for how we can serve others and to lift one another up.\"
Dozens of Arkansas state officials, community organizers and others gathered for the event in the mansion's Grand Hall. A series of speakers addressed King's legacy and granted awards while attendees were served breakfast.
\"I'm thankful for Dr. King's legacy ... and the call to action he left for each of us, not just to let this be a moment where we reflect on the past but a call to action where we step forward in service, \" Sanders said.
The Arkansas Martin Luther King Jr. Commission is a division of the state Department of Education that aims to promote King's legacy and the principles of nonviolence and equality that King advocated for. Among other outreach efforts, the agency leads donation drives and nonviolence summits.
To his contemporaries and the generations since, Dr. King has been an enduring icon and inspiration. As an institution of higher education, we take special inspiration from his belief in the power of education to effect societal transformation toward equity and justice. This ideal informs our public mission to expand access to education, create knowledge and cultivate change for the public good in our communities near and far. To reach this ideal, we know that we must commit to anti-racist practices and making systemic changes that tear down the barriers to the full participation and empowerment of our BIPOC students, faculty, staff and community members. This work happens at every level of the University, and I am deeply proud of the commitment and good work being undertaken by so many of our students, faculty and staff, across every college, school, campus, hospital and clinic, to recognize the impact of persistent inequity and to remedy it.
Many of our doctors, nurses, and other health professionals who spend the working day researching the most efficient ways to track and conquer challenges like the COVID-19 virus spend their off-hours administering COVID vaccines and staffing clinics.
Many more from MITRE contribute as mentors, actively working to provide inspiration and opportunity to young people in underserved communities. Through local Boys and Girls Clubs, college alumni associations, and professional or social organizations, they open doors for a new generation of STEM professionals.
Our keynote speaker, Ruby Bridges, is an icon of the civil rights movement and a living embodiment of courage in the face of racism and injustice. I guarantee that her words will inspire us all to direct our courage toward healing division and taking action. Courage creates change. It is often uncomfortable. And it is what we need to bring us together as a university, a community and a nation.
In illustrating that legacy of social justice, the university hosted activist Ndaba Mandela, grandson of Nelson Mandela, South African anti-apartheid activist and the first democratically elected president of South Africa, as its featured speaker for the event.

A native of Washington, Lyles was a college freshman when he said he was significantly moved by people of all races and both genders taking part in the 1963 march and by King's speech at the Lincoln Memorial, known as the civil rights leader's \"I Have a Dream\" speech.
Among the recommendations that came out were ensuring diversity and inclusion is a strategic competency in the U.S. military, particularly, in the Pentagon; making sure the tone from the top is very clear; developing future diverse leaders; and offering mentoring and career development to make people the best they can be. Also recommended were efforts to create an outreach for a greater pool of future diverse leaders; ensuring DOD has continued progress such as accountability; and promotion of leaders who champion diversity and inclusion, he noted. 59ce067264
