Bikers With Heart Foundation Inc. is a widely respected
501C-3 non-profit charitable motorcyclist organization that has found
an audience and support within the Motorcyclist Community over the last
5 years. Bikers With Heart Foundation (BWHF) has partnered with the
Martin Luther King Foundation (MLKF) fundraising to offset the 18 million
dollar shortage currently being faced by the MLKF to meet the construction/operational
funding of the Martin Luther King (MLK) Memorial scheduled for completion
on the Washington, DC Mall in 2008. Both organizations have agreed to
work as one to put into effect a fundraising and awareness campaign
among the 8.8 million motorcyclists, enthusiasts and various commercial
entities that make up the motorcycle community.
On January 19 – 21, 2007, over 1000+ motorcyclists met in Atlanta,
GA for the 4th Annual Public Relation Officers (PRO) Convention at the
Renaissance Concourse Hotel. Bikers With Heart Foundation Founder Howard
“Dirty Dealer” Clifton Jr. announced to over 1000+ motorcyclists
from across the country the MLK Memorial Foundation’s requests
for donations and distributed over 300 pamphlets requesting donations
from each respective club and individual. MLKF & BWHF also announced
our commitment to organize the:
MLK Memorial - Million Motorcyclists
Motorcade” or M5 Project
August 29 – Sept 1, 2008 (Labor Day Weekend)
On the 45th Anniversary Weekend recognizing the March on Washington,
DC. which resulted in a standing ovation after the announcement.
We are officially calling upon the American/International community
and motorcycle brotherhood to organize and participate in the construction
of the MLK Memorial by supporting the MLK Memorial Million Motorcyclists
Motorcade campaign (M5 Project) among the millions of community activists
around the world, motorcycle clubs, social clubs and charitable organizations.
It is our intention to rally 1 million 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 so that generations to come can maintain
the given right under the Constitution 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 and equal justice
for all. 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 millions of Americans
over the last three generations to prosper as oppose to the millions
of Americans prior to the Civil Rights movement denied their opportunity
to vote, unfair court justice, unrealized dreams, human indignities,
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!
We are asking every motorcyclists, enthusiasts and American citizens
from all cross sections of America to become a supporter of the M5 Project.
