Martin Luther King Day

It's a holiday for my job, but its so much more than a parade. Can you imagine, that at one point many families could not, and did not have equal rights to whites in this country. It was acceptable to have racist attitudes. It was acceptable to have people of color trampled on. It's patronizing because our ancestors were brought over to the states as slaves. No records of their family and pasts. Family members sold and treated like cattle.

Imagine the separate but equal bs that lived until Martin Luther King's time. His speeches were more than inspiring, they united people. Gave us an intelligent voice. People of Color are people. We want to live, learn, grow. All of the injustice done to our people. It's so easy to sweep under a rug, but I say you have to know where you come from before you get somewhere.

To all my beautiful people of every color. Remember your roots, and these few words.

You were not made for nothing. Get up and do something good with your beautiful life.
Believe in yourself. If you don't believe in you, who will?
Whatever you want out of life, you will work for it. All work ain't bad. All work isn't unworthy. All work ain't easy.
Have faith in God. He will deliver you from your woes. He will vanquish you enemies. He will provide you with support.

Peace,

Stacy
