Messy Conversations

Remembering MLK Jr. - 1/20/2025

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."

- MLK from his letter from Birmingham jail, 1963
