“Oh, how we need MLK Day right now-- need MLK--his vision, his words, his feistiness-- not the way he's painted by the centrists (no less the right), but the way he stood up for what was necessary to make America live up to its ideals (yes, he was imperfect yes, bits of hypocrisy and misogyny, and yet mostly brilliance and caring and extraordinary efforts on behalf of all Americans because we are all deprived of justice and equity if any of us are).” — Shellen Lubin
Oh, how we need MLK Day right now--
need MLK--his vision, his words,
his feistiness--
not the way he's painted by the centrists
(no less the right),
but the way he stood up for what was necessary
to make America live up to its ideals
(yes, he was imperfect
yes, bits of hypocrisy and misogyny,
and yet mostly brilliance and caring and
extraordinary efforts on behalf of all Americans
because we are all deprived of justice and equity
if any of us are).
