Remembering Dr. King on this 56th anniversary of his death with a brief thread on his important contrast between what we could call "moderates" and "moderatISM." #MLK #MLKLegacy #MLK55
The differences between the two are vast and have important implications for us today:

In a June 4, 1957 speech to students at UC Berkley, King shared with his audience a beautiful vision for nonviolence. Agape love, he said, is at the center of nonviolent resistance. This love both shapes the character of those resisting AND pushes back on the violence of the age.
How so? "Agape says you must go on with wise restraint and calm reasonableness but you also must keep moving." It was on this latter point that he then turned to an objection he often faced in his ministry: that African Americans should turn to slower methods of moderation.
Excellent turnout for the #MLKDay March here in #PrescottAZ.
The theme of this year’s event was “Marching Forward In Love”

Everyone who follows this handle knows that #PrescottAZ is a very conservative place, but the amazing turnout today is further evidence that the values embodied by Dr. King and the #MLKLegacy are cherished by a whole lot of folks who live here.
We marched from Prescott College to downtown via Gurley. around the Square (shown here) and back up Gurley to the Prescott United Methodist Church for a beautiful program honoring the #MLKLegacy .
Thank you to the MLK Day Committee organizers who made this event a success!
