Martin Luther King, Jr. - black leader - was a man for all people. The killers of the dream could end his mortal existence with a single bullet, but not all the bullets in all the arsenals can effect his death. We will not have to search for him. Listen for him in the protests of the poor - black and white. Look for him in the places where social evils are nonviolently resisted by proud, brave people. Listen for him in the ever increasing chorus of committed individuals. Remember him as a man who tried to be a drum major for justice, a drum major for peace, a drum major for righteousness. Remember him as a man who refused to lose faith in the ultimate redemption of mankind. -Coretta Scott King (May 1, 1968) #corettascottking #ifyoupresspause #ihaveadream #martinlutherking #mlk #mlkday #justice #trumpetofconscience #auntietime #moment

There is so much occurring in the world right now, so much so that it can be overwhelming to try and take it all in. It’s important for us to slow down enough so that we can do our best to make sense of what can become exceedingly confusing if we try to speed through it. We are living in an extraordinary moment. It’s extraordinarily extreme. It’s extraordinarily painful. It’s extraordinarily complex. It’s extraordinarily nuanced. It’s extraordinarily full of potential. We all, each of us, hold a piece of the solution from top to bottom. Fear won’t solve this. Blame won’t solve this. Retaliation wont solve this. But accountability and a willingness to become a mature adult can. Imagine if every colonizing nation publicly became accountable for the harm they had caused and made efforts towards reparations. Imagine if everyone who had caused another harm took responsibility for the impact of their actions. Imagine if we had grown ourselves up enough to love each other as ourselves. It would make a holiday meal a whole lot easier. - See more at: http://chaninicholas.com/a-grown-up-kind-of-love-full-moon-in-gemini-and-the-saturn-neptune-square/#sthash.bHsv0Jq5.dpuf 🙏🏿 #praying #spreadlove #increasethepeace #blacklivesmatter #martinlutherking #trumpetofconscience #syrianlivesmatter (at New York City, Downtown Brooklyn, USA)
