My 2nd Letter to President Barak H. Obama (original letter) Twelve years ago today I was asked by The New Jersey Historical Society to write my autobiography. This was during the celebration of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday. My autobiography was completed several years later for the record in 2015. Many Newark residents know the historical eye witness reality that I met with and shook Dr. King's hand personally along with several other students. My point is that I and several Black Youth Organization friends and BYO classmates met with Dr. King on March 27, 1968 one week before he was assassinated on April 4, 1968 at South Side High School. This historic meeting took place inside the old annex of South Side High School in Newark, New Jersey.
