MLK Tribute
Black people fight against their own
Sadly, we have a leader who cannot teach
compassion...........
America has lost its way
What makes a nation great?
What makes a Nation Great?
Who is God to a nation??????????
I stand corrected every day of my life
That's what kept me humble
Can I ever be accepted for just being me??????
Jealousy
Is
Everywhere............
Fear and
Hate
Is
Mankind's worst enemy.........
It's their emotions
That gave them the illusion
To act in violence..............
Why can people accept everyone????????
Will people keep protesting until everyone
Is accepted?????????
Is there a need for a revolt???
Will a peaceful protest be enough
for everyone to be accepted??????
Black has been against
their own.......
There I said it!!!!!
Will there be a revolt
On MLK Day??????

( I've picked this MLK's speech because it's appropriate to what is happening today. Americans have not respected all Americans because of poor leadership these days. We need this speech in today's modern America.)

I absolutely agree, Mariann. And how it (our president) can’t see past his own treachery. He doesn’t understand the importance of unity. At all. Great work!

Thank you for being a light
It’s deeply sad what’s happening in this moment :-(
The parallels are real! ⚡️💙⚡️
It's a shame what's been going on and what has been going on. I hope for better days to come
