Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Shontel Brown introduced a resolution to honor the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King was born on January 15, 1929, and on Monday, the nation will observe Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Congresswoman Brown’s resolution serves as a tribute to Dr. King’s unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and peace, emphasizing the importance of diversity, tolerance, and the fight against hate in our society. The resolution is cosponsored by 63 Members of the House of Representatives.
“Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired a nation to bend the moral arc toward justice and extend the promise of our nation to every individual. He fought not just to end oppression but to create opportunity, reject hate, and persist in the pursuit of equality. At a time when the values of equity and representation are under attack, his vision for a more inclusive and loving society remains as relevant today as ever. Let us answer Dr. King’s call in our time by rejecting hate in all its forms and fostering a society where every person is treated with dignity and respect.” said Congresswoman Brown.&

Luther, the Great Disruptor
Was it just me or was the word disruption used intensively in the closing months of 2016? It seems like every time I turned on the radio or picked up the newspaper I was confronted with that word. Now that the year has turned to 2017, my attention has definitely turned to the ultimate change agent, Martin Luther, who sparked a religious/political/social/cultural disruption that divided western Christendom with the “publication” of his Ninety-five Theses in October of 1517.
