I think that the great MLK would have thought things would be much better in 50 years. Even though we have a black President, hate is still a large part of our culture. Some things have changed and because I see a more color-blind new generation, there is hope.
Dis was a beautiful post. MLK was such an inspiration to society back then, beyond his time. Unfortunately, like everybuddy else has said...still more work to be done but I am grateful fur what MLK accomplished.
I just watched the special anniversary on TV. It brought back so many memories; I was a farm girl, had never ever seen a black person. I learned so much over the 50 years, and weep still at what remains to be accomplished.
Well said!! I live pretty close to Washington DC (just about 2 hrs)and I would have loved to have gone down and been part of the events and part of the celebration.
I knew I was raised right, and that I raised my girls up right - when one of them was asked to be in the Asian Club at College when they were a Freshman.
BTW she was on the club board for two years lol...
I think there are many good things ahead for all, when we all treat each other with Respect...respect to understand that each single individual is different, no matter what the color of our skin, but yet we are all the same underneath that skin, with hopes and dreams and needs and wants...
and some things are better and some things are not. we have to keep trying
ReplyDeleteAre we still trying? Sometimes I wonder.
ReplyDeleteI think there are many laws that that need fixing, and many ideologies.
Hi Inger .. compassion, caring, living ... we're all in this together as humans ... we're all human ...
ReplyDeleteI hope people will think on this day and where we're at now ...
Great post - Hilary

ReplyDeleteGreat words Inger. Hug B
ReplyDeleteRight on!
ReplyDeleteI think Dr.King realized that it wouldn't happen 'overnight'.
Nicely said Inger.
Much more to be done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

You know I think so many have taken his words wrong. I believe when he said Free at Last - he meant all of us to be color blind..
ReplyDeleteChatty Crone: I am absolutely certain that is what Dr. King meant.
