The radio station played the obligatory "In the Name of Love," and Terrance of Republic of T. posted an eloquent piece referring to the life and work of Dr. King with side excursions on the symbolism of mountains and rivers, pulling it together with the parable of the Good Samaritan.
The events in Wisconsin, and the movement that has grown out of them are an encouraging sign that Americans are still journeying towards the “promised land” King envisioned. How many more mountains we must climb or rivers we must cross before we get there, he didn’t say. But he believed we would get there.
Perhaps we will if, every step of the way, we practice the dangerous unselfishness King spoke of, and thus transform “What will happen to me?” to “What will happen to them?” into “What will happen to us? — and remember that we are one.
