Press Release Body: California and Texas- Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream of hope
and equality is being carried on by Maria Landry Ross and her family. Ross Flags and
Design has been granted rights by Intellectual Properties Management (exclusive
Licensor of the King Estate) to manufacture and distribute a flag that carries the
slain civil rights leader's image with the caption, "Yesterday's Dream Tomorrow's
Reality". The flag is the product of the love for and belief in Dr. King and his
message.

Maria Landry Ross and her family originally designed and created one flag to display
from her home during the time of Dr. King's birthday in January and throughout black
history month in February. Maria's mother liked the flag so much that she would
borrow the flag to display on her own home as well. When Maria's mother borrowed the
flag to display from a podium at a school for a King Day celebration, the school
asked if they could display the flag for black history month, Maria thought there
might be a need for this flag on a larger scale.

On the morning of June 19th 2000, life as the Ross family knew it changed forever.
Maria, her husband Dwayne, and their two young children awoke to find a seven-foot
cross burning on the lawn of their suburban home. The day, known as "Juneteenth",
is traditionally the day that African Americans celebrate their emancipation from
slavery. For the Ross' family it was a day of decision. Maria and Dwayne decided
on that day to keep fighting for the dream that Dr. King sparked in their hearts and
minds. What could have been a day of tragedy and loss was turned into a life
affirming moment.

Maria and Dwayne, founders of Ross Flags, have used this tragedy to drive their
desire to carry on Dr. King's legacy. Maria says, "This flag is a constant visual
reminder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s vision. If we are to continue moving
forward, we must go back and rediscover that Dr. King's dedication to justice,
peace, and brotherhood lies within each of us. We are the enablers that contribute
to making his dream become a reality!"

The family owned business will market the nylon flag through both The King Center
and on their own website as well. For more information on this flag, log onto
