Today, I want to remember this quote from a talk by MLK Jr, from a speech with a title that would seem at home with the words written today to defend marriage, "Where do we go from here? Chaos or Community?"
Being a Negro in America means trying to smile when you want to cry. It means trying to hold on to physical life amid psychological death. It means the pain of watching your children grow up with clouds of inferiority in their mental skies. It means having your legs cut off, and then being condemned for being a cripple. It means seeing your mother and father spiritually murdered by the slings and arrows of daily exploitation, and then being hated for being an orphan.
