“It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important.”
– Martin Luther King

I had not seen this quote before. Dr. King got right to the point here. I wonder what he would tell us today. He must be shaking his head along with Jesus.

It struck me too. Sometimes cutting right through the flowery prose is what people need to see.

Jacob Blake was just the latest lynching that’s gone public. Even the laws can’t protect you when the police get involved like that. 😦
