Reprinted from the March-April 2015 Post Script of Church & Life.
How long ago is 50 years? How long? Too long? Racism is taking far too long to end! We continue having many setbacks. I read the speech that Dr. Martin Luther King gave on the capitol steps of the Alabama capital 50 years ago. It has so much to say to us today; the march in Alabama was about ending violence and giving Black America the right to vote! King’s speech claims segregation, encouraging racism, is about political power—money!
