Today we observe the accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King

Today we observe the accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King. As most of you know I am a strong promoter of non violent protest. I have studied many people, ranging from many different cultures, with one common goal, and that goal is PEACE. The first person I ever studied when it came to non violence was Dr. Martin Luther king and then I went on to study Mahatma Gandhi. Then in 2007 I became a fan of the late Benazir Bhutto who was assonated in the Middle East for her beliefs. I am currently doing a case study of the Muslim religion. I understand that I am Christian, I hold everything that is stated in the Nicene Creed, and I understand I am Catholic, which does not mean I cannot study other cultures and other philosophies of peace. Those of you, who know any moderate Muslims, know they promote peace. I have friends who are Muslim and it has always been my goal not to be ignorant and I think that was the goal of Dr. Martin Luther king. If anything I think Dr. Martin Luther’s king main battle was with “ignorance”. I cannot tell you how much it hurts me when I hear the term “rag head” or the term “nigger”. I am Catholic and I often get called “idol worshiper”.

Most of you who are educated know that this is not the case. I do not fight battles with my fists or with weapons, I use my voice, and we all know the pen is mightier than the sword. Actually the Catholic religion is a big promoter of peace and equality. You will see people from all races and colors in my church. We as Catholics are always educating ourselves on not only the bible but other Christian texts as well, created by the Dr’s of the church so that we can deepen our Christian faith through their knowledge and prayer. My hat goes to everyone mentioned in this post. I can only hope that I can battle ignorance as well as these people. I am a strong promoter of equality. I see neither black nor white! I only see the potential for “humanity”. Those who support racism know that you will not win this fight. Those of us from the new generation will come together and hold hands, red, yellow, black, and white. WE WILL CREATE A BETTER WORLD. I stand on the shoulders of the Woman’s suffrage movement founded by Alice Paul; I stand on the shoulders of Marin Luther King, and on the Shoulders of Benazir Bhutto. May their memory live on in our hearts and may we continue to destroy ignorance and promote education through humanity.
