ThyBlackMan.com) I guess that it was the convergence of many issues that silenced my pen this past
MLK day. This was the first time that my pen remained dormant regarding Dr. King on this day of remembrance. Now, I do not want you to jump to any conclusions that I oppose the philosophies or goals of Dr. King.
I do not.
In fact, Dr. King’s steadfast belief in The Gospel is a position that I aspire to reach. I am unashamed to admit that I have not reached that destination.
Ironically, the catalyst behind my decision to allow my pen to remain silent was encouraged by one of the many celebrations of the Civil Rights stalwarts legacy. Truthfully, the alluded to event was not much different from other celebrations I have participated in over the years.
