Dear Friends,
This photograph from my archives reminds me of things that
unite us; basic needs we all strive for.
Peace. Freedom. Useful labor. Respect. Equal rights
under the law.
I can't say it better then Dr. King himself said it:
"In a real sense, all life is
inter-related … I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought
to be, and you can never be who you ought to be until I am what I ought to be …" - Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from Birmingham Jail
I'll leave you with the rallying cry
of N.C. Moral Mondays, the national Moral Movement, and the new Poor
People's Campaign, all led by Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II
Forward together. Not one step back.
March for Jobs, Peace
& Freedom, Washington D.C. 1983 ©Margaret McCarthy
We still have
a dream
but we're awake
now,
right now.
It's
time.
Now.
