We are officially calling upon the motorcycle brotherhood to organize and support the MLK Memorial by participating in the MLK Memorial Million Motorcyclists Motorcade campaign (M5 Project) among the thousands of motorcycle clubs, social clubs and charitable organizations. It is our intention to rally motorcyclists from around the country and in our respective communities to be apart of this historic commitment of honoring a man who gave so much of himself for the rights and freedoms to his fellow man and woman so that generations to come could be given the right and the practiced philosophy of judging a person by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin, religion, gender or orientation.

Although many of today’s motorcyclists in society were not able or born during the Civil Rights years, we all are the beneficiaries of his commitment and sacrifice that has allowed many of us in our generation to prosper as oppose to the millions of Americans prior to the Civil Rights movement denied their opportunity to vote, unrealized dreams, human dignity, career advancement, fair housing, financial equity, woman’s choice to pursue a career outside the home or become a Presidential candidate and a host of other economic and political tools this great country has to offer it’s citizens. Many of us may not have been able to “March” during the Civil Rights era, but we sure as heck are ready to “March” today or in our case ride our motorcycles in numbers to celebrate one of America’s greatest heroes and remind our fellow Americans when one American is denied his or her rights, then we all lose our rights to Freedom!
