Welcome to my personal blog. “It’s 2012. Time to live life by choice - not by chance. What will you accomplish this year? How will you use all of your gifts and talents to make a significant impact in your community and the world?
Here are some of my musings on King’s impact. This is not polished and not complete, but they are my thoughts.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY
Today is a federal holiday - more than a day off from work - but a celebration of the life, work and impact of Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a preacher/teacher/speaker, civil rights leader, author, father and husband who helped to change the course of American society at a volatile time in our history. As I sit here thinking about his life and looking at my 15 month-old son playing on the floor, King’s legacy comes to mind. It’s been 44 years since King’s assassination in 1968, and we as a national and international community are still talking about his ability to galvanize and polarize a nation around civil rights issues and the true meaning of humanity, equality and justice.
