MLK: Insufficient Funds

"It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked 'insufficient funds.'"

From Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr's 1963 "I Have A Dream" speech.

Sunrise through a Screen

The reason that there seems to be white lines criss-crossing on this photo is because it was taken right up against a screen. It was taken at 6:30 am today.

This image is not from the book but is rather a photo that I took of supper before cooking it. One can see the marrow of the chicken bones.

Martin Luther King on Courage

Cowardice asks the question, "Is it safe?" Expediency asks the question, "Is it politic?" Vanity asks the question, "Is is popular?" But conscience asks the question, "Is it right?"

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right.
-Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr
