And Watching Kid Picked Movie.

and

Monkey Bread to Boot.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

{A Hero of Mine}

Civil Disobedience Defined:
“An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.”

*

"Nonviolence Means
Avoiding Not Only External Physical Violence,
but also Internal Violence of Spirit.
You not only Refuse to Shoot a Man,
but You Refuse to Hate Him.”

*

"I Have Decided
to Stick with LOVE.
HATE is Too Great a Burden
to Bear.”

*

"I Have a Dream
that One Day, My Children will Live in a Nation,
Where They will Not Be Judged by
the Color of Their SKIN,
But by
the Content of Their CHARACTER.”

*

-Martin Luther King Jr.

Brick BackSplash

A Couple of YOU have been Interested in Doing

A

Finished Reading

My Bondage and My Freedom

One of Three Autobiographies

by Frederick Douglass.

In the 1800's

He Escaped from Slavery,

and

Became a Very Popular Public Speaker

Against Slavery.

Because He Could READ,

and WRITE,

and SPEAK,

So Well,

(His Vocabulary is Stunning)

People Didn't Believe,

He had Ever Been a SLAVE.

So He Wrote Down His Story.

It's Fascinating What a Person Can Endure,

and How Much They Can Over Come.
