Testament of Hope
“When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.”

So very inspiring. Thank you, Wendy!
It’s such a great reminder, on both a small and grand scale.
What a beautiful photo! I have never seen that, but I love the domesticity and informality of it. It’s beautifully lit too.
We always think of MLK in such iconic moments. But I love the intimacy of seeing him with his children.
We need him and his eloquence now more than ever. Thanks for sharing this!
His combination of activism, goodness and faith is really extraordinary.
A beautiful photo and a beautiful message.
It’s amazing to think that he died at 39.
