Thoughts on Dr. King

Today we celebrate one of the truly great men in our history. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Junior was a man who help pioneer the civil rights movement and he did it his way. Dr. King preached non-violence as a way to resolve issues and, for the most part, his legacy still holds up to this day. However, it breaks my heart that there is still violence among our young people. Witness what happened to Denver Broncos defensive back Darrent Williams. The 24 year old was shot and killed in a drive by shooting in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day. Senseless violence like this is not what Dr. King preached. I truly hope that those who were involved in the shooting are found and brought to justice. They had no right to take someone’s life like that, especially someone who was in the prime of his life like Darrent Williams. To all the young kids out there, just remember: Carrying a gun doesn’t make you a man, being able to solve your differences in like cival and decent manner does. Let’s honor
Dr. King by putting the guns down and making a better effort to get along with each other.

Peace!
