Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Today I am honored to honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a prophetic voice for the masses, not just black folk but all folk who seek and need to seek human justice for all. Rev. King sought it and fought for it by giving his all, giving his life. I praise God for his selflessness, not cutting corners just so he could say he tried and then seek what was most comfortable for him. When situations get tough, giving up or half doing a job can be tempting. This is the case sometimes with us hard working mamas. I challenge you to read my latest column in EEW Magazine written to help mamas prone to cutting corners to the possible detriment of their children learn to fight for the next generation always with that generation in mind, much like Rev. King did. I salute this great American hero for embodying the Spirit of Christ and fighting to make life better for us all.
