A Blessed Dr. King Day to you

 


Here is a quotation from Dr. King's letter  from jail to the Clergy in Birmingham who strongly objected to his presence and approach - calling him an "outside agitator." .  You can read it at the link below.  I especially appreciate this thought 


 "  I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider.
