“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929–1968)
American civil rights leader
Nobel Peace Prize winner
We went to the MLK Jr. mass. WE (D&I). And while it was a nice service, it was even nicer sharing it with D. My relationship with D is certainly not as complicated or intense as when Dr. King first spoke these words, but these words are apropos just the same.
The unemployment situation was - is - hard for me, very hard. But I am being measured now. I am measuring myself. My character, my beliefs, my strength.
Dr. King's words have touched me... they make me think.
