“ ......reflect on the great movement for civil rights that transformed our country. We remember leaders like Rosa Parks, who today is being honored with the John Thompson, Jr. Legacy of a Dream Award.
And we recommit ourselves to working for the dream that Martin Luther King gave his life for: an America where the dignity of every person is respected; where people are judged not by the color of their skin -- by the content of their character; and where the hope of a better tomorrow is in every neighborhood in this country. “ President Honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at "Let Freedom Ring" Celebration John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Washington, D.C
Cincinnati Change believes that by faith America can lead the world through progressive internationalism that includes the bold exercise of U.S. leadership to foster peace, prosperity, and democracy.
The founders of the organization and Change Agents of Cincinnati Change will bring together an interfaith alliance that works with the federal government of the United States of America from a headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio.
“When our founders declared America's independence, they invoked the self-evident truth that all men are created equal. Our Constitution was written to put the principles of a free and equal society into practice. It is a living document.
It required amendment to make sure that promise was fulfilled, amendments like the abolishment of slavery, the guarantee of equal protection, and the right to vote for all Americans.
Dr. King called these documents America's great "charters of freedom," and he continued to trust in their power even when the practice of America did not live up to their promise.” President Honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at "Let Freedom Ring" Celebration John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Washington, D.C
Together with the Mayor of Cincinnati and other elected officials at all levels of government Cincinnati Change will work with allies, institutions and investors who agree that working together makes us stronger, not weaker.
“At the dawn of this new century, America can be proud of the progress we have made toward equality, but we all must recognize we have more to do. The reason to honor Martin Luther King is to remember his strength of character and his leadership, but also to remember the remaining work. The reason to honor Mrs. Parks is not only to pay homage to her strength of character, but to remember the ideal of active citizenship. Active citizens in the 1960s struggled hard to convince Congress to pass civil rights legislation that ensured the rights of all, including the right to vote.
And Congress must renew the Voting Rights Act of 1965.” President Honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at "Let Freedom Ring" Celebration John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Washington, D.C.
By 2009 this company will employ over 1,800 people keeping over 10,000 field agents supported for foreign operations.

We are developing a method of service through a private public partnership lead by faith.
"And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers; [these offices were given] to equip the saints for the work of service, [which work has as its goal] to build up the body of Christ until we all attain to the unity of the faith..."
