That is a wonderful and very apropos quote. I never had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Mays or Dr. King though both of my parents did. I was fortunate to meet Dr. Bond and Rev. Young many times growing up.
My father is a great man in my eyes. He was not a politician or a minister. He was a simple professor at a small college in the south. He taught young men and women for 35 years. He inspired those kids daily. He inspired me and still does. I had to leave when I was in my late teens. He stuffed money into my hands, gave me a hug, and said go find your own path and dreams. Little did he or I know then that I would be so far away from him and the rest of my family for so many decades. First with the military and then settling out west with a practice and teaching myself.
My S.O. and I have plans to move closer to the family this year. I just hope that he will still be alive when we are able to do so.
I greatly appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
