Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the American civil rights movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States, and he has become a human rights icon: King is recognized as a martyr by two Christian churches. A Baptist minister, King became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. CLICK HERE TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO HIS FAMOUS "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEECH.

On behalf of the National Urban League, its Board of trustrees and Affilates, our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti as they cope with the effects of the devastating earthquake that has taken so many lives and destroyed so many communities. We are distressed by the images of death and destruction in the wake of the horrific disaster. We commend President Obama for the way in which the United States has responded to this crisis so far. When disasters like this occur, as in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina struck this country, the National Urban League movement came together to assist in the relief effort and provide support to those in dire need.

As the recovery and relief efforts get underway in Haiti, we recommend the following:
1) As we have assessed the best way to assist in the relief effort in these first critical hours and days, we have advised that CASH DONATIONS are the most efficient and effective way to help the relief efforts in Haiti right now. The National Urban League urges everyone to donate to the Haiti Support Project's Haiti Relief Fund at www.ibw21.org or you can donate to a reputable organization of your choice. You can go to www.whitehouse.gov/HaitiEarthquake to determine an organization to contribute to. Please contribute what you can as soon as possible. 2) The United States must take the lead in a comprehensive plan for the reconstruction and rebuilding of Haiti, like the Marshall Plan, to ensure that the physical infrastructive and human lives are permanently rebuilt. 3) The United States should grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) forthe 30,000 Haitians currently under threat of deportation. The National Urban League and its affiliates in over 100 communities throughout the United States stand ready to assist in the relief efforts to help the people of Haiti recover from this terrible disaster. We will issue further statements and updates on an on going basis. For more information visit www.nul.org
