Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. simply operated on America's conscience through
the law of love. In spite of smear campaigns to the contrary Dr. King's
life and the lives he touched in his time, and ever presently still
effect positive change. The life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
illustrates freedom of speech propelled by spirituality united that cost
a heavy price in the quest to free black people of African descent from
most critically halting lynchings in addition to cultural restrictions
imposed by law, and to faithfully secure the right to vote to activate
change, live in peace, work the jobs our capacity, and potential were
always capable of in spite of a lack of fair play at times that however
cleared a path for other people of color to do the same in similarly
situated circumstances around the globe ultimately.
This
legacy provides a less hostile more equitable, intelligent, loving,
charitable world with inevitable ebb and flow of politicians for all
people. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's bravery set us all on a better path
for healthier lives, when we choose to see the good in each other.
