Today is an important day where we remember the life of Martin Luther King Jr. A man who spoke so eloquently about non-violence and who sparked a consciousness within so many of us.
Dr. King inspired me to seek out truth, to believe in peaceful protest, to understand that only with a voice can we be heard. I learned that music is a powerful tool against ignorance and hate. that is what I will sing about today.
Here are some words from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's last address April 3, 1968 at Riverside Church given the night before he was assassinated.
"....only when it was dark enough can you see the stars......non-violence or non-existence that is where we are today...we got to stay together and maintain unity...."
