“In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.
This weekend I joined hands with Down With Tyranny! to present a series of guest blogs. Following a bit of background on the creation of the King holiday by a musician, I write a little about the music in the extraordinary film, Selma, and direct listeners to the old songs that still sing out strong during the current justice movement afoot in the US.
Yesterday’s post concerns the State of San Francisco following last week’s mayoral address. Tuesday will feature an everyday story of gentrification and how it is impacting the lives of two working people here in town.
Wishing you peace and enjoyment of this day of service.
