Today, January 16, we, as a
nation, remember the life of Martin Luther King, Jr.-husband, father, son,
dreamer who had such hope that the issue of race would be put to rest in this
country where we profess that all men are created equal. Those of us who
are older remember the unrest in America after he was murdered-his dream and
those of his friends shattered by a bullet. I was living in Washington, DC at
that time and with my Ursuline Sisters, watched as whole neighborhoods were
destroyed in the riots. The race problem in this country has not been
solved and we as Christians should pray for equality each day. The
challenge is before us each day and hopefully, we will rise to the challenge by
standing next to our brothers and sisters who are denied their God given rights.
