Jl By Carmen Ramos Chandler The Arizona Daily Star "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal' Martin Luther King Aug. 28, 1963 About 1,000 people marched from the University of Arizona to El Presidio Park yesterday to mark the first celebration of the holiday honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King.

During a balmy, peaceful afternoon, they sang and talked as they walked, and when the march was done, they heard a gospel song and a recitation of King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Related photos on Page I A. One after another said they were marching to celebrate the slain civil rights leader and his dream a dream that some said has not been achieved. Marshall Franks, 67, was among those in the parade. "Why are you here today?" he was asked.

Franks looked at the questioner in suprise. "I am here to honor Martin Luther King's birthday and I think it is one of the most important things I can do for him," he said. "To honor him for the many things he has done for so many people." Genevieve Belton brought her two children to the march. "I want them to be aware of what black people went through so they can have what they have now," Bel-ton said. When her 6-yeir-old daughter, Charity, complained about the heat, Belton just smiled and took up the song sung by others around her.

"We shall overcome some day," she sang. City Councilman Chuck Ford walked near the front of the march. "I am here because Dr. King was willing to give his life for so many people," said Ford. "If he was willing to give his life to correct the wrongs in this country, the least I can do is be out here walking.

"But no dream has been realized yet, and it won't be realized until the 50-plus percent of unemployed black youths and the 15.2 percent of unemployed black adults have jobs and we ensure adequate housing for everyone." His sentiments were shared by many of the marchers. "I am here to make sure that the dream that Martin Luther King saw, lived and died for didn't end with his death," said state Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Higuera. "It's still alive. There is still a lot to be done." Edward Hayden and Sam Newsome said they were at the march in Washington, D.C., on Aug.

28, 1963, when King made his now-famous "I Have a Dream" speech. "This brings back memories of the 1963 march," Hayden said. "Twenty years ago, it was hot. It was sweltering heat, but nobody paid attention because they felt there was a need at the time. "Twenty years later, I am inspired because part of the dream has come true.

We didn't expect it to come true in the near future, and some of it has to this point." But Newsome said he was worried that the dream is being lost. "We are losing some of the things we gained during the '60s," he said. "We are losing justice, jobs, education, housing. If people don't recognize this, then we will be back where we were." As the marchers walked through the old courthouse building to the park, the halls echoed with their song: "Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, we shall overcome some day." A.E.
