A Hero Reflects The Hero In Us All
This past Monday was Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday and events throughout Los Angeles and nationwide celebrated this civil rights leader and his contributions. I was pleased to see President Obama joining with others to help correct the words added to the King memorial on the National Mall in Washington.
Mr. King wanted his words to be clear to the public then, as it needs to be now, that all of us must be a drum major for justice. And all of us can help and serve others. (It’s currently quoted as if he was speaking about who he was and what he did).
President Obama painted King’s accurate quote on a school yard wall along with the phrase, “The time is always right to do what is right.”
How important these messages come at any time, but especially at the start of this new year.
