MLK Day

"Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows." -Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929 - 1968) "He was not God. And yet, behold the legacy of one man trying to do good. I would hope that we shall once again begin to build beloved community not looking for a leader but determined to respect and activate the leadership capacities whithin each one of us. And as we, millions of leaders of our own lives, united according to shared values and priorities, if we are lucky enough to discover another Dr. King among us, so much the better for our good speed towards our goals. But if we do not, then we will not languish, mute and immobilized. We are not gods. But we are many." -June Jordan (1936 - 2002)
