MARTIN LUTHER KING COMMEMORATION
“In the past apathy was a moral failure. Today it is a form of moral and political suicide.”
“I have begun the struggle, and I can’t turn back. I have reached the point of no return.”
—Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Stride Toward Freedom, 1958
Dr. King wrote these words during the heart of the Montgomery bus boycott. Many activists had grown weary during the protest and were uncertain of whether their efforts were effective. King eloquently spoke of the need to stand for that which is just and right in the face of strong opposition and, often, death.
In 1958, the challenge was integrating the Montgomery, Alabama, public transit system. Today, the challenges are found in court decisions that threaten the very foundation of affirmative action laws; in rulings that will limit the opportunities of people of color in the pursuit of higher education; and in political and social systems that foster the further erosion of our families, neighborhoods and communities.
“Faith without works is dead.” (James 2:26)
The time has come to move toward the achievement of King’s dream—toward a level playing field for all members of our society—through our actions. We must collectively marshal our efforts toward the achievement of an equal and just society for all, and we must not allow the gains and advances won by those who went before us to be lost.
Everyone can make a difference.
The Challenge Continues.
