(January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968)
Just in case anyone forget who was assassinated on this day in 1968 and why the banks are closed and kids are home from school, I just thought I’d share.
Meanwhile, I’m not quite sure how well the good Dr. King would think we’re doing today as far as his message of hope and peace and the accompanying wisdom, justice, courage, moderation, and LOVE it would take to truly unite this nation … as ONE … “under God” … but I’m guessing he’d probably be disappointed.
This nation will rise up …
… but I guess we just have to keep falling down before we can really start rising up, right? We’ve regressed, people … not progressed … and as far as I can tell, we are more divided than ever.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love this country, the flag she flies, and the freedoms I enjoy as an American woman. That being said, sometimes it’s REALLY hard not to lose hope and keep the faith here in this flailing “huMANity” even for the most hopeful and faithful of us.
By the way, PARENTS:
Might I just suggest that you at least “try” to explain to your kids why they’re home from school today? It couldn’t hurt, right?
