Takes more than changing one's self, LH... Martin Luther King was a nice man but being a nice man wasn't enough... He went out an organized and preached and mixed it up...

Yeah, ya' gotta get yerself squared away but that's only the first step if ya' ain't willin' to walk the walk...

I mean, I think of my mother... She was a nice lady... Always had the best tastin' dishes at the Wednesday night church potluck suppers... Always going to visit the sick... Always reading her Bible...

But what sticks in my mind was that she dressed up in her pink suit with her white gloves and stood shoulder to shoulder with other folks in front of the US Capitol building in the name of civil rights and got hauled off to jail, white gloves and all with the other folks who were willing to walk the walk...
