Empathy (A Preview) – Courage, The Power of Speaking Up and the Price of Silence

“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” – Martin Luther King, Jr

 

I am heart-broken over the racially motivated shooting of 9 devout individuals at the Emmanuel AME church in Charleston. As, I grieve and process this incident, I will  continue posting #CharlestonShooting #PrayforCharleston haikus for a total 7 days through Wednesday the 24th. In keeping with my Mon-Thur blog posts schedule, I will post the full version of this post on Thursday. Thank you for your patience. Take care of  one other and do not remain silent my friends! Much love and God Bless.
