ebrating Martin Luther King's birthday as I write this post. When I think of Dr. King's body of work, I'm amazed at what he was able to accomplish during his short time with us. While Dr. King is certainly an African American icon, what he stood for touches all. It is ageless and colorless. While he struggled with life’s challenges as many of us do, he is a reminder of what we should be in our lives. A reminder of what we can be to others. Injustice and inequities exist in all aspects of our lives. It could be a neighbor being treated unfairly, a child being neglected, or someone being disrespected. What you do when you witness an inequity or injustice says something about you as a person. Do you stand up and shed light on what is happening or do you pretend not to see. Do you speak out when you witness unfairness or do you stay quiet?King shined a light in the darkness. He put a spotlight on inequities and injustices and made them visible for all to see. He helped a people move forward, which helped all move forward. Where are you shining a light?
