we are still consider 3/5 today….. However they want our vote.
Sounds like where we are today…
It is absolutely eerie the similarities between the “nightmare” of King’s final years and our nation’s contemporary moment. Yet, in writing this piece, it became clear to me that today’s struggle for justice may act as the beginning of the fulfillment King’s wildest hopes. Those working in the streets and the halls of power cannot afford to underestimate their power or their place in history. Meaningful change will take a miracle in our nation. But as King well knew,miracles happen. That the struggle continues is a miracle. And it happens everyday. Thanks so much for reading Grace.
This was a great piece. I feel compelled to go out and get King’s “Where Do We Go From Here?” Thank you for highlighting how multilayered King really was and that his beliefs and actions were deeper than the “I Have A Dream”
Dear Sahadia, I promise you won’t be disappointed in Where Do We Go from Here… the first pages alone are worth the price of admission. I pray in King’s word you that you will find fuel for your fire.
