BLVD TO CHARLES MARTIN BLVD Whereas, in every community, there are individuals who prove to be agents of change, uniquely gifted with the ability to motivate others in heroic ways. Charles E. Martin, Sr. was such an individual, remarkable not only in the number of lives he influenced, but also in the ways he influenced them; and Whereas, Charles Martin was born August 3, 1943 in Jackson, Tennessee. He and five brothers and sisters were raised in South Bend by his parents, James and Luvinia Martin. Charles Martin graduated from Central High School in 1963, from Ball State University in 1967, and was a teacher and coach at LaSalle High School from 1967 to 1970. He joined the Michiana YMCA in 1970 and became Director of the Urban Youth Services program in 1972; and Whereas, for the next 22 years, Charles Martin operated an extensive educational network to motivate minority young people to achieve academic excellence. His work with the YMCA and South Bend Community Schools provided him daily contact with thousands of youth who benefited from his programs, including the Academic Contract and Outstanding Minority Student Award; and Whereas, Charles Martin’s motto was “Touch a life every day,” and he practiced it through personal contact and local community organizations, including the Martin Luther King, Jr. Foundation, Leaders & Positive Role Models, Ladies of Distinction, Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, the South Bend School Boosters, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Kiwanis Club, and many other organizations. He was named a Sagamore of the Wabash by Governor Orr in 1987 and Governor Bayh in 1990, and was inducted into the South Bend Hall of Fame in 1990. Charles Martin passed away June 2, 1994. Several months earlier, he learned that the building that became the Charles Martin Youth Center would be named in his honor. The Center was dedicated August 2, 1995, and has become the embodiment of Charles Martin’s dedication to youth. Now, Therefore, be it resolved, by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, as follows: Section I. The Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana is pleased to support the street renaming of the former Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd to Charles Martin Blvd. Section II. Charles Martin’s legacy of advocating for youth and community, lives on in the lives he touched. Mr. Martin recognized the connection between education and a better life and strived to reach out to children and teach them the importance of academic schooling. Section III. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption by the Council and approval by the Mayor. _________________________________ _____________________________________ Tim Scott, 1st District Oliver J.
