Black Supremacy is just as bad as white supremacy, and God is not interested merely in the freedom of black men [people], God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race and in the creation of a society where all men can live together as brothers. -The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Sept. 5, 1960, in Greencastle, Indiana
Reflections on the MLK Holiday and March for Life 2023
The March for Life and The Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday are bookmarks on America’s new calendar annually.
Let's consider, the passage of Roe v Wade, 410 U.S.113 (1973) sent issues of life back to the states for further deliberation; that is, the sanctity of life is more important than ever.
Unfortunately, during this recent holiday season, in the midst of these momentous days, there has been personal loss for this writer, as well as for many others.
Two of my sweet sisters — civil rights icon Cleo Orange and freedom fighter Diamond (of "Diamond & Silk") passed away.
They will be missed. May God comfort and heal all of us who mourn. ("Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted," Matthew 5:4).
Only God knows what lies ahead for America.
One thing is certain going forward, we should all add more prayer to our daily agendas.
We must worship God first and foremost, then act accordingly.
