We are all different shades of humanity and Dr. King had God's ear regarding inequality and suffering.
I have so many regrets that I was not part of his movement.
I did try to campaign for Sen. Robert Kennedy but that dream died in a kitchen. I didn't vote for a long long time.
I think of the Dick Gregorys who back in the 60's took a stand. Peter Paul and Mary were very important to soothe a soul and I did not hesitate to hug Peter Yarrow in DC and talk quitely about his plight for social justice.
We all have the power to hold this man's memory in high esteem. We all have the power to be part
of calling out the dividers and prejudices we see. If we do nothing, we are part of the problem. I regret being so close to Ebenezer Baptist and missing Dr. King's sermons. I regret not joining in that wagon train. I don't want any more woulda , coulda, shoulda's in this life where love knows no color
I did not make that mistake in 07/08 with then Senator Obama. I worked my tail off for the Senator and I worked hard in 04 and met Congressman Lewis more than one time. (such a wonderful human being).
I meet resistance today from the backwoods bigots but all I have to do is think back to a time when I could recall seeing Whites Only..
and Colored Water Fountains.
I am married to a Native American and their
heritage is proud as well but they too have been
neglected and abused. I think of the Dick Gregorys who back in the 60's took a stand. Peter Paul and Mary were very important to soothe a soul and I did not hesitate to hug Peter Yarrow in DC and talk quitely about his plight for social justice.

Please enjoy this video and remember, We can still make a difference. Massachussetts can make a difference Tuesday by not putting themselves in reverse and we can all make a difference by putting our hand out for the people in Haiti and think of still carrying on the dream that has not totally come full circle.
I still stand behind President Obama because I knew from the beginning he would make mistakes and could not please us all. On the video listen to Sen. Ted Kennedy and remember Tuesday is just one day after MLK's birthday. Don't let
a teaparty backwoods bigot take that seat that Sen. Kennedy held for over 40 years. Hear his words in the video.
