Martin Luther King Jr. showed himself to be very intrapersonal.  This means that he knew himself well.  He knew in his heart the difference between right and wrong.  He also knew that if he wanted to change anything, he could with hard work and dedication.  He let his conscience guide him through life and we citizens of the world are the beneficiaries of his commitment to a better America.
 

The Martin Luther King Jr. team shared a rich experience with the Cesar Chavez team in meeting with Mr. Roy Lanham, who is an intrapersonal hero of today.  Mr. Lanham is the Eastern Illinois University director of campus ministries and the Newman Catholic Center at EIU.  He is a very energetic man who has done extensive humanitarian work throughout his life.  He provided our teams with a wealth of background, biographical, and lifetime achievement information about these two socially influential men.

Mr. Lanham also discussed the non-violent means by which Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez fought for and achieved their dreams.  Martin Luther King Jr.'s non-violence methods have proven to be a powerful tool for creating social change in America and around the world.  He was highly influential in bringing about the beginnings of social equality to people of all races in America.
