The flag
is a classic tribute to our country's most influential Civil
Rights Leader.
Joe Dumars
President, Detroit Pistons
It is with extreme pleasure that
we share with our family and neighbors the fact that we in
2008 are committed to living Dr. King's dream. At our home
this flag will fly as a symbol of our covenant.

"The legacy of
this World Civil Rights Leader will be something that students
of this age and the future can continuously experience. When
they see the flag of Martin Luther King, Jr. in their schools,
churches, and public buildings, they will be reminded of the
ultimate sacrifice he made so that opportunities that had
been denied minorities over 400 years, will no longer be.”
Charles W. Ross,
Educator of over 50 years as a
teacher, school counselor, school principal, and member of
the District Board of Education, The Louisiana School Board
Association and a member of the Federal Relations Network
of the National School Board Association.
"The flag was given to me by
my daughter to display on my home honoring the birthday of
Martin Luther King". "I was invited to a black history
program held a local elementary school. Being a close associate
with the teachers of the school, I assisted with the decorations
for the school program. I thought it would be a great idea
to bring the MLK decorative flag from my home and use it as
part of the decor for the MLK school program.
The MLK flag was displayed on the front stage in the school
auditorium where the children presented their program and
the guest speakers addressed the children. After the school
program, I was approached by numerous teachers and people
of the audience of various ethnicities, inquiring about where
they might purchase the MLK Flag. The school principal, Shirley
James, stated that she would like to have one to hang up in
the school as well as outside of the school alongside the
American Flag during Black history month. I explained to her
that this was a personal flag that was designed and created
by my daughter, Maria for personal use. I informed her that
I would discuss my daughter the possibility of getting additional
flags
