For all to watch on Martin Luther King Day. Reflect on these things

"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring."


"A time comes when silence
is betrayal." That time has come for us in relation to Vietnam.

"Each day the war goes on the hatred increases in the heart of the
Vietnamese and in the hearts of those of humanitarian instinct. The
Americans are forcing even their friends into becoming their enemies.
It is curious that the Americans, who calculate so carefully on the
possibilities of military victory, do not realize that in the process
they are incurring deep psychological and political defeat. The image
of America will never again be the image of revolution, freedom and
democracy, but the image of violence and militarism."


This is an animated meditation that takes less than 8 minutes and is truly fitting to watch on THIS DAY and remember what might have been. Some of us do not forget, nor are we about to let him down in our dedication to social justice.

May he rest in peace and his family stay well.
