Thanks for your post. Last year I wrote about honoring King, but with a different take...I'm asking people to get healing by putting an end to the "internal bleeding" in their respective communities, some of which is self-inflicted.

I hope people will embrace the inner healing of which you speak by loving themselves, and honoring the legacy King et al left, and for which they died--may it not be vain.

Thank you for your comment. I read your post-- articulate and well worth reading. Clearly, individual healing and community healing are strongly linked. I hope we all continue to move toward both.
