“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.“ —MLK, Jr

In a few days, we will be honoring The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. His dreams of justice led to non-violent protests and positive change in many areas—segregation, voting rights, housing, poverty, working conditions, anti-war. His successes included, too, the work, cooperation, and leadership of many women and men less celebrated than he.

And the work remains unfinished, ongoing, and vital for humankind. We are a part of that inescapable mutuality, our destinies linked. A community acting in love. Today.
