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.

"The shape of the world today no longer affords us the luxury of an anemic democracy. There is a revolt all over the world against colonialism, imperialism and racism. And all over the world people are saying racism and colonialism must go."

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke in support of Israel and against militarism as he became a leader of America's Civil Rights Movement. Today, with the Middle East in turmoil, both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict say his remarks show that he'd favor them. #MLKDay2024 https://www.axios.com/2024/01/15/mlk-words-israeli-palestinian-conflict-war

As we honor Dr. King today, I hope we put his words into action throughout the year. Here’s my revised list of resources for talking with kids about both the holiday and about race and racism—conversations we should be having regularly. #MLKday #MLKday2024 https://mombian.com/2024/01/15/resources-for-talking-with-kids-about-race-and-racism-on-mlk-day-and-all-year-long/

“In the Name of Love/Pride” lyrics are at the link above. Greg's version is expanded compared to the U2/Bono original.There was a little man, barefoot and frail,
he took a walk down to the Ganges,
he took a lion by the tail.
He made a way out of no way,
one by one they saw the truth.
He was ready when they told him,
they said history chooses you. -
#Today #Monday is Dr. Martin Luther King Day in memory of Dr. King's courage and genius in the use of non-violent protest in pursuit of an egalitarian society that lives up to the aspirations of our Constitution's Preamble.
This version of Pride is unusual in that it is an acoustic arrangement and performance. The pedal boards are gone and Bono reveals that beautiful tenor that fits this song and the moment so well. #mlkday2024 #music #U2 #unplugged
