| "People do not attract that which they want, but that which they are." -James Allen (As a Man Thinketh) |
I thought I would take the time this weekend to highlight the birthday of a very important figure in the civil rights, and some say human rights movement, Martin Luther King, Jr. I think that often, because of the position of Dr. King in the movement he has typically been the one figure that most know about. I would argue that many figures that had an active role in the movement were not as easily recognizable to us when a name is said. There must be a greater emphasis placed on weaving into the fabric of morals and values, a deeper and more sincere conviction in the soul of man. This challenge to our fellow man creates a new understanding of the truth about who we are as humans, the core of man.

| Seeking out a new challenge in life is some of what keeps a man's heart in rhythm, syncopated with the world around him. |
To find a truth in life, we often must sacrifice those things most important to us. Finding "those things" creates consistency with what we are doing. When found to be consistent we become productive and conscious members of society. Imagine what can happen when we empower others? I only more remembered people like Arthur Ashe, Althea Gibson, Crispus Attucks, Alexandre Dumas, Garrett Morgan, George Washington Carver, W.E.B. DuBois, John Hope Franklin, among many others that may not have names that are as easily recognizable for some. My hope is that as a society, we find ourselves better equipped and more empowered to hold leadership accountable in this life.
More to come...
