“Power at its best is love implementing the demand of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. (1967)

We are now in the season–from MLK Day to the end of Black History Month (February)–for reflection on how we implement the demands of justice. As we respond to the crisis in Haiti, and continue our work on behalf of struggling communities here in the United States, let’s reflect on these words and ask ourselves–as Martin Luther King, Jr. did in 1967, where do we go from here?

For the next five weeks, I will ask this question as it applies to a series of social justice issues. The goal is to advance our dialogue and discussion about our current conditions and how we can advance the equity agenda. More to come…

Wishing a Happy Founders Day to my sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.! We’re a strong collection of amazing women working in sisterhood toward social justice. Much love.
