Celebrating the Legacy
of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
 | |
"All I say to America is be true to what you said on paper," from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s last speech, "I've Been To the Mountaintop." Click her for 3 minute excerpt.

DEAR FRIENDS,
As we consider Dr. King's quote "I
just want to do God's will," we recognize a man driven with purpose.
Why are we here? What should we do? As Dr. King alluded to the great
leader Moses in his last speech from Memphis, "I've been to the mountain
top," we too can consider a Moses Moment. As the scripture accounts,
as Moses was about to embark on his great life's purpose, the question
of what and how to do it was proposed. The answer came back from God
"What is in your hand?" That's an indicator for us-"What is in your
hand." What do you have access to? What can you do? Begin with what
you have. Maybe time to participate in the National Day of Service on
Monday? Maybe you can begin by serving your own family, your own
community before shipping off to foreign lands to save the world. Save
your house. Save your own world.
As we ponder Dr. King and the
idea of purpose, we can't help but think of "Ask Not What Your Country
Can Do For You, Rather Ask What Can You Do For Your Country. "Some Men
Ask Why. I Ask Why Not." The Kennedy brothers come to mind. With that
thought, I can't help but remember the time when every Black home, I
ever entered had a picture of the Lord's Supper on the Wall and
Photographs of President John Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and
Senator and Presidential Hopeful Bobby Kennedy.
Enjoy your Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Weekend. Make a Difference Where You Are
and Let it Begin With What is In Your Hand!
Sincerely,
Jackie Wright
