MLK


“Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride”

-“Pride (In the Name of Love) U2

I am delayed in writing about the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  On Monday I watched an African American man be sworn in as President for a second term, on Martin Luther King Day. How fitting and perfect.

“A man who won’t die for something is not fit to live.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

DR. King died fighting for the right that all people should be treated equal. Have the same rights. Be treated with love and kindness. He fought for this with such passion and against such hatred. He died fighting for what was right.

If we all could take the same stance, fight for what’s right. Fight for EQUALITY. Make ourselves heard, this world would be a much better place.  

Thank you Dr. King, for your passionate fight, your strength and wisdom and the mark that you have left on this world.  

“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. 
Martin Luther King, Jr.
