MLK a Beacon

The quotes from Martin’s speeches are moving and plentiful.

The images of he and his family over the years are a joy to my eyes.

Today, I was restricted from volunteering or activism because of the pandemic that rages still. I feel hopeless. It is not my place to claim this man yet he is such a part of me.

Know that I lived in a divided northern city when he was killed. I stood on my front step singing “Let There Be Peace on Earth” with no one to hear me. I was stooped at 10. A silly girl with much to learn. Today, I have been quiet. Awaiting this next week in our country’s history. Martin is here willing us to react wisely. Can we do the right thing?

MLK Statue 2013
What an honor to visit this statue in 2013 after attending the second inauguration of President Barack Obama.

Pick a quote, any quote and breathe life into it. “Let it begin with me”. Thank you, Martin.
