We would work together to build that community that inspires
us and to leave a world to our children that makes us proud, and, most
importantly, we operate always from a place of generosity and abundance
rather than fear and scarcity. From that jail cell in Alabama, Dr. King wrote: ``We are caught in an
inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of
destiny,'' or, as the great civil rights leader Reverend Joseph Lowery
once said to me during the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride: ``We may
have come over on different ships, but we are all in the same boat
now.''
To make a difference, to truly serve the people, it only takes
courage and coming together as a collective, across the aisle, across
rural and urban, across Black, White, and Brown. Dr. King showed us
what that really looks like, and he died because he was compelled to
stand for making a reality from a dream of what was possible only in a
country as great as the United States of America.
