From RFK's speech following MLK's assassination: "What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black." Just as then we needed love, wisdom and compassion, today we need love, wisdom and compassion, a willingness to have discourse, to find common ground and unity, to avoid hatred and vitriole. Thanks for featuring MLK.
Another epic history lesson that fits into God's word. Even though he was taken out, his message had impact and resonates to this day. It's so true that God can turn bad to good and in ways that make the most impact!
"King's vision of a nation where people 'will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character'". As with most things in 2024, this concept has been flipped upside down. The "new" concept is now being jammed down our throats by the anarcho-tyrants. And yet, I truly believe the vast majority of the people in this country still believe the truth of Dr. King's speech.
We had leaders then. They were bringing us together and leading us into a new age. Now we have politicians.
Well said!

Sadly both RFK and MLK were both assassinated in 1968... so much for justice and tolerance on the part of the two haters who killed them.

I love your posts.
Thank you!
Thank you, Jason for another thought provoking article! If only JFK and Dr. King could see what their dreams became...

I agree.
