Great picture from Norman Rockwell--says so much.
Watched the movie "Lost Boundaries" yesterday--a true story that took place in New Hampshire about an African American doctor and his wife who looked and passed as white. Great message.
Some favorite quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.:
“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
“Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.”
“Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
Let's find ways to celebrate Martin Luther King Day that will be meaningful for our Esperanza scholars...and remind our students that even though Martin Luther King has 94% approval rating today he only had a 33% approval rating when he was alive.
