As America celebrates the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on this national holiday, we must look back at his words for a reminder of what this nation needs right now. On August 28, 1963, Dr. King delivered a soaring speech with a message that stands in total contrast with the rhetoric peddled by progressives over and over and over today.
The wokeism movement declares that America is the problem, but Dr. King saw the complete reverse. He said America is the solution.
Dr. King appealed to the nation to realize the dream of its founding fathers. Not to crush it, not to bury it, not to trash it, not to transform it. We keep hearing that from the left, but it’s inconsistent. And, in great contrast to the most memorable and often quoted line in his speech. What we’re hearing today is exact opposite of what we heard in his speech.
He said in quotes, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” end quote.
What has happened instead is that in the name of racial justice, race campaigns of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion – they call it – DEI – DEIs are being embedded into every one of our federal institutions today, which categorize every American to define selection and placement based on race, based on color of skin, based on what the left deems – whatever they want that day – whatever’s politically expedient that day – is now written into this DEI.
Dr. King also drew on biblical truths which have been lost to today’s wokeism, a religion in itself that tries to demonize and cancel all who disagree.
Let’s honor Dr. King by revisiting the message he delivered on that summer day in Washington, D.C. Let’s set aside the religion of politics and power and see America as he presented it, a free nation under God.
