MLK Day

Today I remember two things from MLK Jr.:

1. "...the US is the largest purveyor of violence on the planet..." I'm quoting from memory, so it might not be exact...but I just listened to it again today.

2. He said something about Gandhi embodying the teachings of Jesus like no one else has. I don't have the exact quote.

Thank you MLK for being such a huge example of bravery for us all to attempt to emulate. It would take me a life time to try and be as brave as you were in making just one of your many speeches. I can only hope that others will be brave enough to say what needs to be said, despite the consequences.
