MLK's Address to End the War from 1967 still relevant for us on #MLKDay2024:
"While the anti-poverty program is cautiously initiated, zealously supervised and required to be an instant success, billions are liberally expended for this ill-considered war. The security we profess to seek in foreign adventures we will lose in our decaying cities. The bombs in Vietnam explode at home, they destroy the hopes and possibilities for a decent America.
It is estimated that we spend $322,000 for each enemy we kill, while we spend in the so-called War on Poverty in America only about $53 for each person classified as "poor." And much of that $53 goes for salaries of people who are not poor. We have escalated the war in Vietnam and de-escalated the skirmish against poverty. It challenges the imagination to contemplate what lives we could transform if we were to cease killing.”

My wife and I volunteered to pack meal kits to honor #mlkday2024 and the #mlkdayofservice at the Orange County Convention center in #orlando #florida. Our table packed almost 900 kits during our two hour shift. It was a great experience and they had a DJ playing good music. The only problem was that the music was so loud it made it hard to talk with the rest of the folks working at our table.
