Sustenance on Repeat Play!
pickDay 18 - Inheritance: How can there be pages and speeches filled with words like these and so little progress? How could someone want to give us such a hope and yet such great despair remains? How could the inheritance of such wisdom be so far out-of-reach? Where do we go from here?

pickIt was great to re-read my anniversary edition today. Such a simple speech, but so powerful, and there is much more to it then just the I Have a Dream section that is often quoted.
“...we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.”
We are still working on it....
I‘m old enough to have the 30th anniversary edition on my shelf instead of the tagged edition. I‘ll be re-reading mine later tonight.
And this year when Martin Luther King Jr Day falls on his actual birthday, I think I‘ll start Black History Month early, similar to leap year, to make up for all those days that are shorted every other February.

Because we can✊
And of course the penultimate #dream quote. I‘m sure this one will be getting a lot of love today on #quotsyNov17
Happy birthday MLK thank you for your efforts to make the world a better place

Thank you for your earlier MLK post @BookishMarginalia . When I saw it, I remembered seeing this earlier this year and posting in my FB feed. I thought you might like it as well. Such a powerful image and one I cling to these days, to remind myself that good will always triumph as long as we don't let evil win. #teachersofLitsy
Always find comfort in words ❤️
"Letter From a Birmingham Jail" still very goddamn relevant.
