Absolutely. Agree 100 percent! I posted this in Leisure, but it fits here too – a “woke” quote from Martin Luther King Jr. in his honor:
"Even though it may be true that the law cannot change the heart, it can restrain the harvest. Even though it may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, it can restrain him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important also. And so, while the law may not change the hearts of men, it can and it does change the habits of men. And when you begin to change the habits of men, pretty soon the attitudes will be changed." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "The Other America" Address
This is why we have the responsibility and privilege to protect and participate in our democracy and our laws. |
