Martin Luther King Jr.
“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
I can't help but feel that this quote is really apt with the protests going on world wide. It is so easy to stand on the sidelines, nod along, but not speak out. There is no denying that the police brutality and racism in the world is wrong, and it has to stop! Even when the protests die down, or the media is reporting on other things, Black Lives Matter, and we need to do better and support black people. Which means we all have to speak up, be it through actually using our voices on platforms we feel we can make the most impact, protest, education, donations, or all of the above. It also means supporting black businesses, and not just hiring black people but also make sure they are supported and able to grow in their roles and taken seriously. Be the change you want to see in the world!
