now, as his 56 year-old adult daughter, he continues to captivate me.

I was leaning in then; I am leaning in now. I did not fully grasp who he was then, but now I fully understand. He was a prophet to the world. His words and teachings provide the just, equitable, humane, and peaceful way to create a just, equitable, humane and peaceful world.
What he taught us through his example and through the movement emanated Christ. He was the embodiment of the Christ Spirit. We ignore his words and teachings at our own peril.

One hated by proponents of Jim Crow segregation, isolated by liberals more concerned with the politics of niceties and comfortability
and scorned by an ideological left that ironically, and without obvious embarrassment saw itself as more radical than King. #MLK51
