"Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, 'Wait.'..but..when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of 'nobodiness'..then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait. There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
There are those who will look at Dr. King's dream and see it as fulfilled and completed. Not in the least. As long as the divide of class grows greater, the threat of militaristic government hovers, and the steps we have taken forward are threatened by those who would have us believe they are trying to make things 'more equal,' then Dr. King's dream is far from realised. To him, and the countless others who gave their lives in service of something greater than themselves, who gave their lives in persuit of the dream of solidarity, peace and hope, I give this tiny memorium.
