yes we can but no...we didn't.
one step forward, two steps back
a work in progress
promises made
and broken
actually
it's quite simple:
an injury to one is an injury to all.
none of us move forward...
until we all do.

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others? - Dr. Martin Luther King
Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King. Following emancipation, the dream of many ex-slaves led to the "exoduster" movement to Kansas and the dream of all black communities. One of those communities was Dunlap, Kansas. This is the Baptist Church which was the center of the community. Here is a link describing its history.http://www.legendsofkansas.com/dunlap.html
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

MLK statue seems surrounded by blossoming cherry trees at the Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial in Washington, DC.
I went for a walk around downtown last night. It's been awhile since I've just walked around with no particular destination in mind. This area through the fountain on the Martin Luther King Jr promenade always catches my eye.
I took this last year on a brief visit to Washington, DC. Best viewed on black, I think.
Here is a quote from Dr. King that seems amazingly relevant today:
Whenever the government provides opportunities and privileges for white people and rich people they call it ‘subsidies.’ When they do it for Negro and poor people they call it ‘welfare.’ The fact is that everybody in this country lives on welfare. Suburbia was built with federally subsidized credit. And highways that take our white brothers out to the suburbs were built with federally subsidized money to the tune of ninety percent. Everybody is on welfare in this country. The problem is that we all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor. That’s the problem.
