52 years ago today.

I’m sharing this thread of photos, not to cause sadness, but to remind us of a cause as critical today as then.

The racism, poverty & militarism that my father was working to eradicate still persist.

As a result, families are mourning at this very moment...
Yet, we can overcome these persistent evils with persistent, consistent good, as demonstrated by honesty & strategic, love-centered, courageous action.

My parents believed.
I believe.
