It may seem a bit trivial on Dr. Martin Luther King Day to focus on one aspect of the craft that made him a great leader. Wasn’t he much more than a great orator, a man who inspired not just with word but with deeds? Didn’t he march bravely in front of the dogs and the firehoses and men with guns, inspiring by walking as much as talking?
For everything Dr. King accomplished in his life there was much left to do when he was brought down. It’s up to us to carry on and inspire our friends and neighbors to stand up, march proudly, and make a difference.
