Dr. King

I was in high school when Dr. King was murdered. Have you seen pictures of the new 30' statue and his memorial that will be dedicated soon? What bothers me is his face.

The times were painful. People were angry on both sides of the Civil Rights issue. Note: Al Gore Sr. voted against the bill. Many did. Some because they felt we needed to uphold our law that are all men are created equal. All men should be free of judgement.

That was Dr. King's vision. Not by skin color but by content of character. MLK marched and worked as a Christian for justice. That was his theme. He was determined, he was respected, he was targeted.

The new statue has a face more stern and more angry than I remember Dr. King.

The new memorial honors a martyr of the revolution but there were many lives dedicated to change, to awareness of injustices. Dr. King is the face remembered. His Dream speech spoke to the masses of all colors.

Let us all focus on the content of our character. And what is just and right and colorblind.

'til later
