These are fantastic, thanks for posting them.

I interviewed a minister who, as a seminary student, marched with King in the Selma to Montgomery march and he offerd a quote from King that he said to the students there tempted to leave because of pre-march violence: You cannot clean dirty laundry without agitation. We are agitators.

What an incredibe moment in history to have been a part of

Love the last one. My daughter's BFF's grandma marched with Dr. King and was one of the teachers that moved from Mississippi to Kansas to teach after Brown v. Board. DD and I were talking about that Friday and how lucky she is to know G-ma and get to hear her stories, her history, her wisdom and perspective, and how we should be thankful for heros like her and Dr. King because otherwise she and her BFF wouldn't be allowed to be friends.



It's also pretty cool to hear my 6 year old schooling me on civil rights history. :-) (Cool for me because I had no concept of civil rights issues when I was six.)

Wow. This is so true, about so many things, too. You could easily apply this quote to the issue of marriage equality.

We must be concerned not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life, the philosophy which produced the murderers.

Pretty applicable to "gun" violence I would say. It was not/is not the guns that need "fixing" , it is that which is causing people to become murderers. But, whoah to those who are serious about looking at our current culture and societal problems and want to make changes.

Really? You're advocating expanded government programs to reduce poverty? Wow lys, I had no idea.
