2018 MLK Freedom of Speech


by Patricia Britt


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.
