Our Brother Martin

in #mlk7 years ago

50 years ago today our brother Martin was murdered in cold blood... On December 8th 1999 inside a United States court in Memphis Tennessee after 4 weeks of testimony from over 70 witnesses, and an extremely short deliberation, the FBI was found guilty of conspiracy and the assassination of our brother Martin... That very same organization not only exists today but has extended the reach of their power and influence to be much greater than they were both in 1968 and in 1999. You want to carry on the legacy of this man's greatness? Than have the courage to open your eyes and stop giving money to the very people who murdered our brother Martin. You expect that by enabling the people who killed our brother we will achieve peace and togetherness? You think by forcing other people to submit to your will, that will foster understanding? There is no way to love but through love... and until you can love one another and have faith in the goodness of one another, there will be only darkness... The path to righteousness and love is not yet within our reach, in order to get there we first must take a leap of faith. I ask you for our brother Martin's sake, that you have the courage to trust in the goodness of humanity... and the fortitude to carry on his legacy!
