A beautiful Pic, of a man who died trying to make a difference.
Thanks Stephen for this wonderful post. We can't help but acknowledge this stalwart, and his steadfastness. A man with an inert, and natural ability to demonstrate love even when there was nothing to love .
"A piece of freedom is no longer enoug for the people, nor for a nation in which Negroes are a part. For we have been given pieces of freedom, but unlike a piece of bread, a piece of freedom cannot finish hunger. Freedom is life, it cannot be had in instalments, we must have freedom, or we are not free" Dr Martin Luther King Jr
So long Comrade Martin!!!!!
