I listened to a sermon in which someone quoted MLK today, and then I ran accross a reference to the same letter from Birmingham on someone's blog. MLK was a Christian and civil rights were all about social justice.
When the African-American slaves were freed in the U.S. they were still treated as second class citizens. Today's slaves, when freed should have the opportunity to live just as everyone else does. I want this to happen.
I want women who are "choosing prostitution" to be able to choose differently. I want them to realize that the choices that they see are different from the choices that really exist. I want them to be able to expand their horizons.
MLK used some beautiful, amazing, and motivating language. I wish that I were the gifted writer that he was. Maybe, if I can borrow a few of his words, adapted to this situation, I too can inspire.
