Martin Luther King Jr School

While acknowledging the struggles, contributions and accomplishments of Black Americans from Crispus Attucks to Frederick Douglass to Martin Luther King Jr., in making America great and the land of equality, we should remember, borrowing liberally from Desmond Tutu, our equality is bound up in our brothers’ and sisters’, for we can only be equal together.  America is yet to be that “perfect union”, and the legacy of the enslavement of Blacks still stains our society, but that should compel us to be even more committed to justice for all.
