For the past 50 years people have gathered near the freedom bridge on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive in San Antonio and marched toward Pittman-Sullivan park as a way to stand in solidarity with the movement that he represented.
It was a movement that drew sharp attention to the civil unrighteousness of racial oppression that was normative in the United States
It was a movement that peacefully yet powerfully demanded change at all levels of society.
It was a movement that claimed his life.
While we won’t be able to gather this year on MLK drive, we can still honor the life that was lost in selfless pursuit of ‘The Dream’.
We have a simple challenge: show up, be changed, and bear witness.
