‘Where Are We Going From Here: Chaos or Community’. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today.  We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. 

In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late.  

Procrastination is still the thief of time.  Life often leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected with a lost opportunity.  

This may well be mankind’s last chance to choose between chaos or community.”  

                              Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 
                         ‘Where Are We Going From Here:  Chaos or Community’.

Protesting\Nonviolent Resistance: Should also be at Alderman, City Council, Board of Supervisors, and not just the Mayor Residence.

Nonviolent Resistance Across the Board

Protests should start with your lowest level representatives in your community not just your local Mayors or Governors residence.

Budget allocation and approval also involves your lowest level elected representative in your communities from L.A., Chicago, Houston, Boston, D.C., and other jurisdictions.  Your Alderman, Neighborhood Council members, County\City Council members, Judges, etc. 

Our elected officials are all part of the community, the 'Whole Community' in the system, and process.

U.S. the land of milk & honey. Many Individuals on the Continent of Africa still believe. Hmm

Few Africans who have never traveled to the USA know anything about Juneteeth or Tulsa Oklahoma as Black Wall Street or Kwanzaa or why Blacks vote so little after fighting so hard.

Here is the link to today's Conversation. We shall reflect on the Juneteenth (Those of us on the continent will learn more of this today) and Voter Education in line with 365 Days of Civic Engagement.
