It has been FIFTY years since the March on Washington. A civil rights march. A quarter of a million people came in buses, cars, on foot. They came for a dream. It was led by a Baptist minister. Black. It was largely about civil rights for black people.
Adjust the clocks fifth years later. It is still led by a black Baptist minister. Why black? Why Baptist? Why a minister? Why is color an issue and religion involved?
This is everyone's issue. Every one. Personally, I am offended when Christian doctrine is mentioned. Religion has no place in this. This must be about all people. This needs to be about living rights, human, animals, the environment. We all have rights.
We will not move forward until we consider all living things. There must be a separation of church and state. But I must confess. I want the ideal. I want things to be different than they are. I want more evolved people.
Accept the world as it is and rise above it.
