Letter From a Birmingham jail unfortunately is not a YouTube video but it's both stirring and damning at the same time.
Thank God for men like King who had the courage to stand and say NO.
And thank God for an era that started with Kennedy and continued on with King, Bobby, Malcom, Ali, and Lennon, and may God forgive those who cut these visionaries and noble men down.
There will always be those who fear and hate change, fear and hate dissent, fear and hate equality. Those lives though won't be celebrated though. Rather, those people will be almost forgotten. Just remembered as being the one holding the firehose, the attack dog, wearing the sheet, spitting on the person wanting to be treated as a human being. Those who stood at the schoolhouse door. We only remember those people as the ugly face of intolerance, ignorance, and bigotry. Those people we do not celebrate. Rather, we celebrate those who came into this world and left it a better place for all mankind.
