As I prepared this post I wrote some thoughts about Martin Luther King and then discarded it after I saw this post by his daughter @berniceaking, which I find so much more appropriate. She wrote: "My father, Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr, did not dream of a colorblind society. He dreamed of a World House where the terrors of white supremacy, colonialism, and imperialism are eradicated. And of a Beloved Community where extreme materialism, poverty, racism, and war are not horrifying blights against humanity. So many need to discontinue quoting one line from ‘I Have A Dream,’ without proper context and attention to what he said in that entire speech and in his other speeches, sermons, and writings. That one line is often misused to deter truth, love, and justice."
