We ARE Still Marching

Happy Birthday Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr……..I started my day watching the movie SELMA which is what I had planned to do…….WOW what a powerful reenactment of BLOODY SUNDAY…..all should get awards for their acting….One thing I kept thinking was..back then we were marching for LAWS to be  acknowledged and changed,,,to give black people the rights they were ALREADY entitled to. We were FREE people RIGHT!!! Funny because there were sooo many similarities to the way black people are being treated today and the marches are not  to change and LAWS.but to acknowledge that 50 years later black people do matter and have a very important place in our history……but the treatment of black people is the same. Why doesn’t America want to give black people the respect and dignity they deserve and have earned. We educated ourselves equal to our counterparts and it still not enough. Our President is black still it is not enough,  Still today our legal system does little or nothing to benefit poor and inner city people. Reading the newspaper and watching the news we see so blatantly the difference and so bold. The people who marched across the Edmund Pettis Bridge both BLACK and WHITE were HEROES!!!!!!!…..

But yet 50 years later we are still fighting and marching and praying for change.  Every man in this country should be free because thats what our constitution says RIGHT!!!!!   CIVIL RIGHTS is very real and it is our birthright So I say to the 25,000 people who crossed the bridge 50 years ago THANK YOU!!!! Clearly it would be MUCH worse if you had not paved the way…………
