But, like Dr. King, we must continue to march on.
We march on toward the realization of the American Dream. We are not diverted by those who would deny opportunity based on what we look like or where we came from or who would deny equality based on who we love.
We march on poverty, until every child has the nourishment of body and mind needed to fuel their chance at success. We must find ways to bring those from the “outskirts of hope” closer to the circle of opportunity.
We march on ballot boxes, because the rights for which we fought are too important to give up now. And no one should silence us simply because they might disagree with our views.
