Monuments, Memorials, Martin

Mountains, memorials and men and women who press for change are similar.

Strong, sure, firm, prophetic, reminders, and resounding with a clarion call to justice.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., among others speak up truth to power. By their lives more than their words, they preach love.

Nonviolent love like Ghandi, among others who poured their blood that others could be free.

King knew that the violence done upon him and other protesters in Alabama could not be met with more violence.

Only love.

The memorial of King in Washington, D.C., is a mountain to a man of a dream as President John F. Kennedy told him when King and others worked for human dignity of all in the 60s.

I like living voice more than museums and memorials. But, memorials are reminders to be more of the same all the days of our living on earth.

People for others.

Always.
