Where do we go from here? Many have asked this question, but few have the answer. During Dr. Martin Luther King’s time he was one of the few with the answer. Dr. King preached of the pursuit of justice, peace, and unity. own eye and can’t see or feel the justice, peace, and unity.

Now we find ourselves fighting for the future fighting for tomorrow with yesterday behind us to strengthen us and prepare us for today. We as a people have come together for this moment in time but it may not always be that way.
