Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Day in the United States.
As with many things these days, there are folks who will honor his legacy of non-violent protest and work for what is right, and those who will see him as something negative...somethings like instigator, uppity black man, or worse.
I stand with those who see him as an example of how to bring change, an example of how to see each person, no matter how they look, as a reflection of the Creator, an example of how to work for peace, justice, and equality in a world that is drawn in the opposite direction many times.
It is hard to believe that after all the years that have been spent, by many, working for that peace, justice and equality that we are still so far removed from Dr. King's Dream.
May better days be ahead.
MLK’s vision of peace, justice, and equality still matters deeply today. Honoring his legacy means continuing the work, choosing compassion, and striving for a more just and united future.
