In my favorite speech ever, one of my few, true heroes, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said of the more just, equitable America he envisioned, "I may not get there with you..." Well, we're still not there, but we have to keep bending the arc. We are his legacy. We are the children he referenced in my personal favorite speech. I was one, going on two, at the time. And we have to keep the ideals Dr. King, Jr. stood for alive, employing creative non-violent action and resistance to bring about a more just, equitable America and world. We must bend the arc until the ideals Dr. King stood so clearly, courageously, eloquently and fiercely lovingly for meet reality.
Keep the candle of hope lit, and be brave, children.
