Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke powerfully about where and what we could be (economic and racial parity, an improved “Jericho Road”) and how we could get there (love for each other, economic withdrawal, supporting Black banks, working for justice on “Jericho Road”).
He had gone higher in his spirit and mind and had seen that we could and would get there.
“And he’s [God’s] allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over and I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.”
58 years later…we are not yet THERE. But if we love each other, learn to live together, dismantle the things that seek to destroy humanity, and improve conditions for people across the globe, we will get there.
