mlk

I plan to find something more "meaty" to say about MLK later in the day. I have a couple of ideas, but it is midnight and I'm tired and I'm (inshaAllah) about to go home. But something I really hope for today is that people don't just see Martin Luther King Jr. as an ideal larger-than-life hero. What I would like is for people to see him as part of a movement made up of "ordinary people". As a result, we shouldn't think in terms of when the "next Martin Luther King" or Rosa Parks is going to fall out of the sky. We should think about what are the positive things people like us can do to create and contribute to a movement and participate in positive changes.
