My Admiration Grows Stronger With Each Opportunity To Remember



And, while we're at it, maybe we should take the time to read something the man wrote. How's this for starters?:

"I am in Birmingham because injustice is here...Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.

It'd be appropriate to maybe read the entire Letter from a Birmingham Jail before we get on with our days, too.

You will NOT regret it.

I assure you...

...you will not regret it.
