Rev. Martin Luther King- My Brother, Our Brother!

"We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools'- MLK

Today our nation marks the holiday that honors and highlights the life and contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King. Slavery and segregation mark low points of US history. Not very long ago and in my childhood I saw the horrible signs that marked division of races over bathrooms, theaters, hotels and restaurants.

The Civil Rights movement to end racial discrimination was a struggle that marks one of the high moments of US history.

Christ is the greatest liberator of all, His mission, His passion was to restore man to God and to teach man that all of us are created in the image of God, all of us are equal and all of us are treasured.

Brother King and many others marched and preached and taught about these principals- and many paid a horrible price for what should be a standard right. And some like Rev. King paid the ultimate price.

God bless America. God bless freedom for all of us. We stand together as brothers or this nation will fall. Thank you for your dedication and your commitment to the principals of your faith and for belief in the goodness of this nation.
