Star Wars creator backs King fund







George Lucas wants Luther King's message to be remembered Star Wars creator George Lucas has donated $1m (£565,000) to build a memorial to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr in Washington.
The landscaped memorial would lie near the Lincoln Memorial, where King gave his "I have a dream" speech in 1963.
"The ideals and principles for which Dr King fought have never been forgotten and are as relevant today as they were 40 years ago," Lucas said.
He also said a memorial would ensure King's message endured for the future.
Other notable supporters of the project include former US Secretary of State Colin Powell and Jack Valenti, former president of the Motion Picture Association of America.
More than $40m (£23m) has been raised for the memorial, with $100m (£56.5m) needed to finish the project, organisers said.
The US Congress authorised the memorial in 1996, and groundbreaking is scheduled for late next year on a four-acre site among trees on the National Mall, beside Washington's Tidal Basin.
Other causes supported by Lucas include his own educational foundation set up to help bring about a technology-enriched educational system of the future. Premiere screenings for the Star Wars movies have raised $5.6m (£3.2m) for charity.

it's true people like 50 cent are role models and can change they way people think, they can help youung blacks not to forget their history, but instead george lucas has to bulid this memorial for martin luther king, it's a very good thing to do on his part, im so happy that someone is willing to remember black history. And so support for all the great things he acieved.

A good deed is a good deed - regardless ofhow much money Lucas has.

Bill Gates is worth over $100 BILLION yet you don't see HIM donating anything.

In this partulcar case, no. Bu there is nobody in the whole world that donates as much as Bill Gates, percentage wise and not. He donates more than his kids get in in heritance. Seriously though, he dontes a lot of money. so don't slander thje dude. Although I am quite disappointed in XP. Too muc hype

U r very incorrct about Bill Gates

Dont u read the news?

He gave half his flipping wealth to charity

So be careful about talking.



nex point

50 Cent and the like have more interest in King than Lucas. But b sure Lucas will do more for African-Americans than these clowns. the point of this is how stupid race becomes unless our race is deeper than having dark skin and wooly hair.

Truth be told a "good is a good deed"

If George Lucas was black do you think a memorial would be possible? if Ken(don't like him)Livingstone was black do you think his plans for a Nelson Mandela memorial would be shot down before the plans were made? it having a hard time as it is now!

As for Beyonce, she donates and 50 cents has set up The G-Unity Foundation with his crew which donates and gives grants to non-profit organisations it also sets up scholarships.
http://www.violator.com/g-unity.html

Did I hear somebody calling others clowns? hmmn did I? just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Bill Gates hmmmn....the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the world's largest charitable foundation but......most of the money goes towards vaccines in third wold countries.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_an...tes_Foundation

I'm not a great believer in vaccines, time after time they have been shown to turn up contaminated, end result usally ending up in infertilty to those vaccinated, depopulation anyone? Problem with this way of contributing to charity is that it pays "big pharma" and the actual people who its designed for don't see a 50% of benefits what was donated in the first place.

just my 2 pence worth.


The world's full of them..... and you know it!

To be honest, if I wa sas papereup as these guys I would be giving like its no tomorrow.

Charitable donations can be dedcuted from your trading income, or you can claim money through Gift Aid

50 cents charity, am u cant do 2 mil of bad an 50 cents of good and expect a badge

Beyonce good is shit compared to her bad

G Lucas has white as an advantage but my man has a legacy of doing good in the world (minus JA JA_- why geogre why?)

So anyone can take 2 cents out of a dollar and throw it in the "superfical" name of charity. We look at teh over all charity. These people do this crap for press, I aint saying others dont but the vulgar contradiction in 50 cents world make him a complete ass who seves no uselful purpose.

Ask yourself for all that profit from his "good Side" how many lose to his "bad side"?
