"If We Dont Support Each Other We Have No Support At All"

Forest Whitaker – Growing Up With Dr. King

By

as Forest Whitaker so eloquently put it, most black American families grew up with a picture of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in their
household and although we have come a long way in attaining equal rights we still have a long way to go to truly be treated as equals.

While bridging the generations we must not forget that segregation was not that long ago and the freedoms & rights we enjoy today are because of
the sacrifices our relatives endured before us.

Today we honour Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for having his
vision of equality for all people and the courage to stand up even in the face of violence towards him and his family.

Enjoy the video and please share… Thank you!!!

Although I am an American living in Canada (AmeriCanadian), I will never shy away from speaking out against injustices against people who are socially oppressed.
