Today we remember Martin Luther King: a man who bought hope to people of color.  He personified Acts 5: 29.   “We must obey God rather than human beings.”  He lived his faith, lead marches, was arrested and jailed, and spoke God’s truth about the injustice of his time.

He wrote “We will have to repent in this generation the hateful words and actions of the bad people and the appalling silence of the good people.”  From “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963.
