This evening, my son and I hiked to the top of a nearby mountain, to watch the sunset and take in the chilly, fresh air. On the walk down, in the fading light, I thought of some of my favorite words from a speech by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that seemed fitting to share in his honor today:
“Let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring
from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.”
Good guotes, & this is good also: " The only way to remove darkness is with light, & the only way to remove hate is with love." Seems like we are slow to learn. I enjoy your writing & pics. Thanks for sharing. Mary Ann Cauthen
