A little dab will...
More tomorrow, but spent the last 24hrs visiting LittleRock - Clinton Library, Statehouse, and Central High Museum. Still reflecting on this history whirlwind however we must never forget anything - we must keep alive to restore & refresh our humanity of our general kindness, hatred, and quest for power. Plan to write more tomorrow, so watch this space... need to download, reflect and discuss this recent history reminder.

My orginal idea was to write my reflections about my trip to LittleRock. With the carnage event of Saturday, I perplexed what to say. AR has a hard,dark & tainted history of injustice and strained race relations much like many states. Until today, we have held a spotlight on "ism" at so many levels, sadly another A state has taken the spot light.
ReplyDeleteAs of today or possibly never, learn the motive for the actions taken by the shooter. Unlike the actions of the taped screaming hoards in-front of Central High we know - ignorance, racism.state Vs Federal. The AZ actions denotes we have replaced the screaming hoards with deadly weapons to defend ignorance, racism, rights. My saddness is for the families whose lives are scarred by this tragedy and may they gather strength from those who have walked this path from AR to AZ.
