MLK

October 13th, 2005

Oct 14, 1964 Dr. Martin Luther King is selected to receive the the Nobel Prize, at the age of 35.

Astounding that he could have accomplished so much in such a short period. Oh, were Dr. King around today. One can only imagine the state of the civil rights movement; the strides that could have been made. The world could use a binding voice to bring together the masses.

The state of racism throughout the world is truly atrocious. As I read stories of white cops beating up old black men, South African class warfare, or scapegoat of the month, WIlliam Bennett, my heart is heavy with the constant reminder of the savagery of mankind, and the widespread intolerance of other’s lifestyles and customs. What a long road we have ahead of us…
