Forty-nine years from his death and fifty-four years from the infamous "I Have a Dream" speech, and the country that Martin Luther King loved and fought for so deeply yet seems to lie in deep distress, and perhaps even deeper discourse.
Disagreement is our badge of honor. Efforts surrounding ideas of unity seem foreign to a country who touts individualism so much that the very notion of laying aside those ideas for just a moment for the sake of togetherness are concepts unknown.
But doesn't unity call for just that? Doesn't unity call for us to lay aside our personal plights for the sake of the good of the whole? Isn't this the very idea for which Martin Luther King fought?
We discuss this (and much, much, MUCH more) on this week's LifeChat Radio.
